Country Life In The Poetry Of John Clare PDF Download

This work acts as a window into the country life of England during the late 18th to early 19th century. It was the period when John Clare lived and flourished as a poet. No one had ever written more powerfully about nature, rural childhood, and the alienated and unstable self the way Clare did. He was regarded as the greatest laboring-class poet that originated from England and became famous for honoring the English countryside and grieving its disruption. His work experienced major re-evaluation in the late 20th century, and he is now often seen as a significant 19th-century poet. The author begins with an interesting background of the period discussing the economic conditions, and then engages the readers with a short biography of John Clare. He then moves forward and analyzes the country life as portrayed in the famous poems of Clare and how the poet wrote with an artistic purpose even in those times of disorder.
