Great insights, fantasyfan! I'm glad you're enjoying Clare. And thanks for the links Bookworm_Girl.
I’m reading the Everyman’s Selected Poems and I have the York Advanced Notes on the way for a little basic info and analysis. The poems in the Everyman’s are arranged not chronologically but by theme. The first section is A Country Village Year and the first poem is December from ‘The Shepherd’s Calendar’: Christmas; it’s evocative and I can see right away the influence that nature had on Clare’s poetry. I’m considering also buying the Delphi ebook for browsing and reference and if I do I’ll want to read other months in ‘The Shepherd’s Calendar’.
