Books by John Clare

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".

The Natural History Prose Writings, 1793-1864
