John Clare (1793 - 1864), the son of a Northamptonshire labourer, worked variously as a ploughboy, reaper, and thresher. He began writing verse at the age of 13 and had his first book of poems published in 1820. His suffered from severe bouts of melancholy and died in Northamptonshire Lunatic Asylum.Geoffrey Summerfield teaches English at New York University. He has spent many years working on the texts of Clare's poetry and is a leading authority on the poet.
The poems in this collection are divided into three parts Early poems, Middle Poems and Asylum poems. Clare's descriptions of rural scenes show an ardent appreciation of nature and his fascination with creative process. His work recaptures the ideas of the Romantic poets, though he adds unique touch of his own.
