This authoritative edition was originally published in the
acclaimed Oxford Authors series under the general editorship of
Frank Kermode. It brings together a generous selection of Clare's
poetry and prose, including autobiographical writings and letters.
John Clare (1793-1864) is now recognized as one of the greatest
English Romantic poets, after years of indifference and neglect.
Clare was an impoverished agricultural labourer, whose genius was
generally not appreciated by his contemporaries, and his later
mental instability further contributed to his loss of critical
esteem. But the extraordinary range of his poetical gifts has
restored him to the company of his contemporaries Byron, Keats, and
Shelley, and this fine selection illustrates all aspects of his
talent. It contains poems from all stages of his career, including
love poetry, and bird and nature poems. Written in his native
Northamptonshire, Clare's work provides a fascinating reflection of
rural society, often underscored by his own sense of isolation and
despair. Clare's writings are here presented with the minimum of
editorial interference, and with a new Introduction by the poet and
scholar Tom Paulin. ABOUT THE SERIES: For over 100 years Oxford
World's Classics has made available the widest range of literature
from around the globe. Each affordable volume reflects Oxford's
commitment to scholarship, providing the most accurate text plus a
wealth of other valuable features, including expert introductions
by leading authorities, helpful notes to clarify the text,
up-to-date bibliographies for further study, and much more.
