John Clare: Poems of the Middle Period, 1822-1837 - Volume V (Hardcover)

Completing the influential Oxford edition of Clare's poetry, this volume presents the poems of the Northborough period of Clare's creativity, some of the finest of Clare's work at a particularly critical period of his life. As with other volumes in the edition, many of the poems have never before been published, and Clare's spelling, punctuation, grammar, and vocabulary have all been carefully preserved. This final volume also includes corrections to the texts, variants, and notes in previously-published volumes in the series, along with a cumulative glossary and cumulative indices of first-lines and titles that will assist readers in their use of the edition as a whole.
