About the work
The LibriVox catalogue summary, preserved with the recording, reads:
LibriVox recording of Poems by John Clare. Read in English by Bruce Kachuk; Lynda Marie Neilson; Larry Wilson; Chris Pyle; Kathleen Moore; Tony Addison John Clare was a working-class English poet, best known for his poetic descriptions of the English Countryside. He is also one of the few popular poets of the 19th century, who, after being largely forgotten for years after their deaths, is being rediscovered in our time. This is a selection of John Clare's poems, suitable as an introduction into his work for those who do not know him. Readers who already did know Clare may like to (re-)discover poems that are not quite as well-known today. - Summary by Carolin
