John Clare's Religion

By Sarah Houghton-walker

Addressing a neglected aspect of John Clare's history, Sarah Houghton-Walker engages with Clare's poetry within the context of his faith and the religious milieu in which he lived. Her book engages not only with the facts of Clare's more traditional religious habits but also with the ways in which he was literally inspired and how that inspiration is connected to his vision of the natural, to his intimations of divinity, and thus to his poetry.
