John Clare (1793-1864), one of England's most important early chroniclers of nature and environmental change, was keenly interested in natural history, folk culture, balladry and the literary tradition. This collection assesses Clare's work from many different angles - analysing his engagements with religion, ecology, 'green' politics, class prejudice and working-class culture.
