About John Clare
- John Clare (13 July 1793 – 20 May 1864) was an English poet.
- The son of a farm labourer, he became known for his celebrations of the English countryside and sorrows at its disruption.
- His poetry underwent major re-evaluation in the late 20th century: he is now often seen as one of the major 19th-century poets.
- His biographer Jonathan Bate called Clare "the greatest labouring-class poet that England has ever produced.
- No one has ever written more powerfully of nature, of a rural childhood, and of the alienated and unstable self."
