This book offers a major reassessment of John Clare's poetry and
his position in the Romantic canon. Alert to Clare's knowledge of
the work of his Romantic contemporaries and near contemporaries, it
puts forward the first extended series of comparisons of Clare's
poetry with texts we now think of as defining the period - in
particular poems by Robert Burns, William Wordsworth, Lord Byron,
and John Keats. It makes fully evident Clare's original
contribution to the aesthetic culture of the age by analysing how
he explores a wide range of concerns and preoccupations which are
central to, and especially privileged in, Romantic-period poetics,
including 'fancy', the sublime, childhood, ruins, joy, 'poesy', and
a love lyric marked by a peculiar self-consciousness about sincere
expression. At the heart of this book is the claim that the
hitherto under-scrutinised subjective stances, transcendent modes,
and abstract qualities of Clare's lyric poetry situate him firmly
within, and as fundamentally part of, Romanticism, at the same time
as his writing constitutes a distinctive contribution to one of the
most fascinating eras of English literature.
