John Clare: A Literary Life - 9780333652701

This book situates John Clare's long, prolific but often badly neglected literary life within the wider cultural histories of the Regency and earlier Victorian periods. The second half recreates asylum culture and places Clare's performances as Regency boxers and Lord Byron within this bleak new world.
