John Clare (1793-1864) has long been recognized as one of England's
foremost poets of nature, landscape and rural life. Scholars and
general readers alike regard his tremendous creative output as a
testament to a probing and powerful intellect. Clare was that rare
amalgam - a poet who wrote from a working-class, impoverished
background, who was steeped in folk and ballad culture, and who
yet, against all social expectations and prejudices, read and wrote
himself into a grand literary tradition. All the while he
maintained a determined sense of his own commitments to the poor,
to natural history and to the local. Through the diverse approaches
of ten scholars, this collection shows how Clare's many angles of
critical vision illuminate current understandings of environmental
ethics, aesthetics, Romantic and Victorian literary history, and
the nature of work.
