Description

Explore a new dimension of one of the most significant poets of the nineteenth century. In John Clare's Religion, Sarah Houghton-Walker examines the poet's work through the lens of his faith and the religious environment of his time. This study addresses a previously neglected part of Clare's history, providing readers with a deeper understanding of how his spiritual beliefs shaped his writing. While Clare often expressed affection for the Established Church and various denominations, this book shows that his religious identity extends far beyond traditional chapel and pulpit settings. Houghton-Walker uses a wide range of evidence to connect Clare's poetry to broader spiritual themes. Readers will discover how the poet integrated elements like ghosts, witches, and literature into his personal definition of faith. This scholarly work also connects his poetry to profound concepts including selfhood, Eden, eternity, and childhood. It is an essential resource for those interested in nineteenth-century literary history, religious studies, or the deep works of John Clare.
