John Clare was, until the late twentieth century, the forgotten Romantic poet. Known by his contemporaries as the “Peasant Poet,” Clare recorded the natural landscape of rural England before the Industrial Revolution. His poems rival Wordsworth’s for their sensitivity to nature and pantheism: “I feel a beautiful providence ever about me,” Clare wrote. But his life was a long struggle against poverty and mental collapse, and some of his finest poems were written in the local asylum.
