Nicholas’s Reviews > John Clare: A Biography > Status Update

Last fifty pages or so: riveting.

I don’t know if I’m taking it all in as it really is a very detailed and methodical ‘life’ but Bate’s precision is compelling and it tells of Clare’s struggles very well. Hoping to finish by the weekend, it’s Tuesday night now, I have under two hundred pages left of this but no doubt, knowing of the poet, it will be sad.

Back on this beauty of a book.
