John Clare: Selected Letters

by Mark Storey

This revealing selection of letters, drawn from every period of Clare's life, provides a wealth of fascinating biographical detail while illuminating his distinctive literary personality: that of a poet who desperately sought to establish his identity as others did their best to deny it. This edition preserves Clare's spelling and punctuation, and includes useful annotation, a chronology, and biographical notes on major correspondents.
