John Clare in the news

8/9/2016

Came across this article on twitter this morning which caught my attention and it contains a little more information about John Clare and his time living as a pauper. Its unusual to see Clare in the press so I thought it worthwhile to post this.

Clare unlike some of the other authors mentioned did not have the luxury of being able to go back to a comfortable life, his mental illness ultimately destroyed him.
