Very Useful
I brought this book to help with my As English Literature course. Although it does not feature all of the poems, it features most of them. As well as the analysis on each poem the historical content of the poem within Clare's life is useful. As well as analysis on each poem it this book also includes analysis of some of Clare's key themes. A very useful book that I would recommend to anyone studying John Clare's poems.
