A window into the fascinating life and writing of the early nineteenth-century labouring-class poet John Clare, this Companion discusses his poetic craft and reappraises ideas of self-image and identity. Essays situate Clare's work within a wide range of discourses, including ecocriticism, health studies, religion, natural history and aesthetics.
The fascinations of John Clare''s life are manifold. A labouring-class poet and naturalist, he was lionised in the early 1820s but spent his final decades incarcerated in asylums. In this Companion leading scholars illuminate Clare''s rich life and writing, situating each within a range of critical contexts. Essays rooted in discourses as diverse as ecocriticism, aesthetics, religion, health, and time are accompanied by explorations of the construction of the idea (including the self-identity) of Clare through writing and images. The collection also traces influences upon Clare, and considers the ways in which he has influenced subsequent poets in turn. The volume includes a chronology and an invaluable guide to further reading, and provides students with a firm grounding in Clare''s writings and his critical reception: this is an indispensable guide to the poet and his work.
