Description

Traditional accounts of Romantic poetry have depicted John Clare as a peripheral figure, an original genius whose talents removed him from the mainstream. This volume helps to show that far from being brilliant yet isolated, Clare was deeply involved in the rich cultural life of both his village and the larger metropolis. Offering an account of Clare's poems as they relate to the literary culture and burgeoning literary history of his day, Mina Gorji defines the context in which Clare's work can best be understood: in relation to eighteenth-century traditions as they persisted and developed in the Romantic period.
