More than a century after his death, John Clare is being recognized
as a poet of importance and stature. Yet in his own day he was at
best a marginal figure, briefly celebrated as a 'Peasant Poet'
before declining into neglect and long years of decay in a
Northampton asylum. His letters, drawn from the whole of his adult
life until a few years before his death, provide a fascinating and
frequently moving insight into his work and thoughts, charting his
progress from youthful enthusiasm to poignant decline. Drawn from
Mark Storey's complete Oxford edition of the Letters (1986), this
edition preserves all Clare's idiosyncrasies of spelling and
punctuation. The letters are fully annotated, and the book includes
brief biographies of the major correspondents, and a chronology of
Clare's life.
