The Life of John Clare by Frederick Martin is a comprehensive biography of the English poet John Clare. The book covers Clare’s life from his humble beginnings as a farm laborer in rural England to his rise as a celebrated poet in the early 19th century. Martin delves into Clare’s personal life, including his struggles with mental illness and his tumultuous relationships with women. The book also explores Clare’s literary career, examining his unique poetic style and his place in the Romantic movement. Martin draws on a wealth of primary sources, including Clare’s own letters and journals, to provide a detailed and nuanced portrait of this complex and fascinating figure. The Life of John Clare is a must-read for anyone interested in the history of English literature and the lives of its most iconic figures.Nevertheless, the old spirit of faith urging him again and again, he had more than once renewed his communications with Mr. Henson, and repeated visits to Market Deeping at last produced a sort of treaty between bookseller and poet. Mr. Henson agreed to print, for the sum of one pound, three hundred prospectuses, inviting subscribers for a small collection of ’Original Trifles by John Clare.’ The price of the volume was to be three shillings and sixpence, ’in boards;’ and Mr. Henson promised that, as soon as one hundred subscribers had given in their names, he would begin to print the book, at his own risk.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations. Because we believe this work is culturally important, we have made it available as part of our commitment for protecting, preserving, and promoting the world’s literature in affordable, high quality, modern editions, that are true to their original work.
