	John Clare
		John Clare (July 13, 1793 - May 20, 1864), English poet, commonly known as "the Northamptonshire Peasant Poet," the son of a farm labourer, was born at Helpstone near Peterborough.
		At the age of seven he was taken from school to tend sheep and geese; four years later he began to work on a farm, attending in the winter evenings a school where he is said to have learnt some algebra.
		Clare's descriptions of rural scenes show a keen and loving appreciation of nature, and his love-songs and ballads charm by their genuine feeling; but his vogue was no doubt largely due to the interest aroused by his humble position in life.

	the biography of John Clare - life story
		John Clare was born to a poor labouring family in Northamptonshire.
		He was described as 'John Clare, a Northampton Peasant' on the title-page, and the current fashion for 'rural poetry' brought him some celebrity in London.
		Clare's attempts to write like other poets of his day, as well as his financial worries, put tremendous strain on his mind, and in 1837 he was admitted to a mental asylum in High Beach, Epping.

	Mike Miller on John Clare's I Am
		While John Clare enjoyed success as a "peasant poet" in his early career, sagging sales and consistent tragedy eventually led to several sanitarium stays, during one of which he thought he was Lord Byron and rewrote several of his works.
		Clare is notorious for receiving an inordinate amount of alteration from his editors, especially the infamous John Taylor.
		This attitude empowers Clare to compose these works, in which all share the similarly unpredicated sentiment "I am." Clare does not endeavor to complete the short sentence with what he necessarily is, but rather covers the minimal requirements for existence.

	JOHN CLARE
		Clare’s ‘Popularity in Authorship’ is, apart from anything else, a minor but unduly neglected document of his predicament in 1824, a crucial year for his life as a poet.
		Although Clare did not know this, it is fitting to record that, also in 1824, the twelve-year-old Charles Dickens, his father being imprisoned for debt, was put to work for twelve hours a day washing and labelling bottles in a warehouse at Hungerford Market belonging to Robert Warren, the lesser of the brothers' fling firms.
		Clare praises this and two other songs of Tannahill in his Journal for 14th October 1824, and it is still one of those hummed by the ploughman in 'The hoar frost lodges on every tree...', a poem of the Northborough period (1832-37).

	John Clare, peasant, lunatic, poet. - By Christopher Caldwell - Slate Magazine
		Clare, who was born in 1793 and died in 1864, scraped together a living as a bird-scarer, lime-burner, fiddler, gardener, haymaker, and "bum-tool" (to use his militia unit's slang for a jack-of-all-trades).
		Clare never learned proper spelling or grammar, signing letters to the editor as "A Northamptonshire Pheasant." But through the fog of his bad education and parochialism, we can clearly see brilliance—not "craftiness" or "dash" or any of the condescending adjectives that get applied to working-class intellectuals.
		Clare had a two-part means of supporting a wife and seven children, and both parts collapsed along with the British economy of the 1830s.

	John Clare Society homepage
		The John Clare Society was founded in 1981 to promote a wider and deeper knowledge of this remarkable poet.
		John Clare's life spanned one of the great ages of English poetry but, until about fifty years ago, few would have thought of putting his name with those of Wordsworth, Byron, Shelley, Keats, Browning and Tennyson.
		His formal education, such as it was, ended when he was eleven years old, but this child of the 'unwearying eye' had a thirst for knowledge and became a model example of the self-taught man. As a poet of rural England he has few rivals.

		John Clare (1793 to 1864) was an English poet from rural Northamptonshire, and is now regarded as the most important English poet of the natural world.
		Here comes John Clare, however, father of nine, survivor of twins, and sanest of poets where children, and what we now dub ecology, are concerned.
		But not long ago it was entirely natural; for nature itself was tragic, as Clare knew all too terribly.
