For the first time all Clare's early poems are brought together
with all known variants, and with Clare's characteristic
vocabulary, grammar, spelling, and punctuation preserved. Through
this collection, ranging from juvenilia to the published poems that
first established his reputation with Poems Descriptive of Rural
Life and Scenery and The Village Minstrel, it becomes clear how
many more poems Clare composed in these early years than have
previously seen the light of day. Strenuous efforts have been made
to recover poems obliterated in some of Clare's first manuscripts,
and the complete text of The Parish, his major satirical poem, is
included. A glossary is provided for both volumes, together with
extensive annotation. Clare's own dating of his first poems is
employed and every attempt has been made to establish a reliable
chronology. This edition provides the first reliable basis for a
new assessment of Clare's poetic growth, allowing his increasing
assurance as a poet writing in a characteristic idiom of his own to
be traced, and demonstrating how surprisingly early his
individuality as a poet emerged.
