John Clare

Nature, Criticism and History

This book investigates what it is that makes John Clare's poetic vision so unique, and asks how we use Clare for contemporary ends. It explores much of the criticism that has appeared in response to his life and work, and asks hard questions about the modes and motivations of critics and editors. Clare is increasingly regarded as having been an environmentalist long before the word appeared; this book investigates whether this 'green' rush to place him as a radical proto-ecologist does any disservice to his complex positions in relation to social class, work, agriculture, poverty and women. This book attempts to unlock Clare's own theorisations and practices of what we might now call an 'ecological consciousness', and works out how his 'ecocentric' mode might relate to that of other Romantic poets. Finally, this book asks how we might treat Clare as our contemporary while still being attentive to the peculiarities of his unique historical circumstances.mehr

Kritik
"The book's passionate, insightful, deeply informed, and provocative arguments are bound to elicit strong responses of many kinds. Its exceptional ability to bring new and compelling historical complexity to Clare and his poetry, however, cannot be questioned, and together with its lucidity, conviction, and willingness to provoke will make this book a 'must read' in Clare studies for decades to come." (Scott Hess, John Clare Society Journal, Issue 37, June, 2018)
"Simon Kövesi's John Clare: Nature, Criticism and History positions itself as an intervention in Clare studies, and in literary criticism more generally. ... John Clare: Nature, Criticism and History is invaluable for its insights into the ways in which an ecological agenda might inform editorial and research practices." (Matthew McConkey, Textual Practice, Vol. 32 (02), 2018)mehr
