Against a background of asylum, escape home, and then forced removal to a second asylum, he wrote during this single year over 3,000 lines of original poetry and paraphrase, in addition to a substantial body of prose. ***John Clare: The Living Year brings this material together of the first time. Here it is possible to trace the evolution of Clare's imagination as the year unfolded. Both the depth and range of his creative engagement become apparent, as he explores fundamental issues of human identity and experience, in modes as different as satire and elegy, autobiography and song. The result is a compelling account of Clare's perceptions as he responded to a momentous year in hs life. ***Edited, with an introduction and notes by Tim Chilcott.'
