Bøker av John Clare

Completing the Oxford edition of Clare's collected poems, this volume presents the poems of the Northborough period of Clare's creativity. As with the other volumes, many of the poems have never before been published, and Clare's spelling, punctuation, grammar, and vocabulary have been preserved.

These volumes represent the third and fourth of five volumes devoted to Clare's 'middle period', between 1822 and 1837. Poems range from satirical and political verse in 'The Summons' and 'The Hue & Cry', to an expression of his philosophy of nature in 'The Eternity of Nature', and a statement of Clare's poetic objectives in 'To the Rural Muse'.

Presents Clare's poetry exactly as he wrote it, and includes selections from his 'mad' poems as well as his earlier descriptions of birds, animals and village life.

The decline in social solidarity, the fragmentation of communal values and a growing sense of 'I' as opposed to 'we', are all signs of an inversion of moral certitudes, a disconnection from reality. This book asks what methods do we have at our disposal to understand and reverse this breakdown of communication within and between communities.

Full of analysis and interpretation, historical background, discussions and commentaries, York Notes will help you get right to the heart of the text you're studying, whether it's poetry, a play or a novel.

John Clare (1793-1864), the 'peasant poet', worked as an agricultural labourer in Northamptonshire until a deterioration in his mental health saw him committed to an insane asylum.

Originally published in the acclaimed Oxford Authors series, this fine selection of Clare's writings, both verse and prose, illustrates all aspects of the poet's genius, from his bird and nature poems to his intense attempts at defining his own identity. This edition includes a new introduction by poet and scholar Tom Paulin.

John Clare was the great Romantic 'peasant poet' - the chronicler of nature and childhood, the champion of folkways in the face of enclosure and oppression, the love poet, the political satirist and solitary visionary, confined in his maturity to lunatic asylums.

John Clare's verse is a celebration of country life. Clare ended his life in an asylum, yet his work expresses an innate wisdom and a profound understanding of nature and of his contemporary rural society. This is a selection of his work.

A selection that includes poems from various stages of Clare's poetic career, organised by theme, from "Birds and Beasts" to "Madhouses, Prisons and Whorehouses".
