John Clare: Poems of the Middle Period, 1822-1837
«a remarkable collection of poems ... The retort to any carping about costs is that it is worth every penny; no poet, and certainly not Clare, could ever imagine their every jot and tittle would be so faithfully rescued for posterity. Any and every page is a testament to the patient endeavour, the sheer hard work, of Eric Robinson and his team: this is indeed a labour of love ... the material is all here, so there is no sense of our being denied anything.»
Mark Storey, ROES, vol 50, no 200 (1999)
Represents the 3rd and 4th volumes devoted to Clare's 'middle period', between 1822 and 1837, arguably the years of his finest creativity. These volumes include poems that range from examples of his satirical and political verse, to a telling expression of his philosophy of nature, and probably the important statement of his poetic objectives.

«This ongoing Clarendon edition of Clare's poetry... will come to be seen as one of the greatest editions of the twentieth century.»
