Description:
It is a miracle that John Clare ever became a poet. Everything was against him: an illiterate mother and barely literate father, agricultural poverty in a small village on the fringes of Northamptonshire, a strictly hierarchical society made more rigid by the tyranny of parish officials, and schooling limited to a dame-school and a nearby parish classroom, an education sporadic and incomplete.
