I see that the Penguin edition has considerably fewer poems than this Oxford World Classics, but it doesn't seem to have added punctuation either. I don't think I'll ever read another poem about a bird's nest again.

Written in his native Northamptonshire, Clare's work provides a fascinating reflection of rural society, often underscored by his own sense of isolation and despair. Clare's writings are presented with the minimum of editorial interference, and with a new introduction by the poet and scholar Tom Paulin.
For over years Oxford World's Classics has made available the broadest spectrum of literature from around the globe.

Clare was the most influential poet, apart from Wordsworth , to write in an older style. In a foreword to the anthology The Poetry of Birds , broadcaster and bird-watcher Tim Dee notes that Clare wrote about species of British wild birds "without any technical kit whatsoever. The only Clare essay published anonymously , in his lifetime was "Popularity of Authorship", a document of his predicament in Clare was relatively forgotten during the later 19th century, but interest in his work was revived by Arthur Symons in , Edmund Blunden in and John and Anne Tibble in their ground-breaking two-volume edition, while in Geoffrey Grigson edited Poems of John Clare's Madness published by Routledge and Kegan Paul.
Copyright to much of his work has been claimed since by the editor of the Complete Poetry , [24] Professor Eric Robinson, although these claims were contested.

Recent publishers have refused to acknowledge the claim especially in recent editions from Faber and Carcanet and it seems the copyright is now defunct. The largest collection of original Clare manuscripts is housed at Peterborough Museum and Art Gallery , where items are available to view by appointment.
Altering what Clare actually wrote continued into the later 20th century; for instance, Helen Gardner amended not only the punctuation but also the spelling and grammar in the New Oxford Book of English Verse — , which she edited. In the scholar Jonathan Bate published the first major critical biography of the poet.
This has helped to maintain the revival in popular and academic interest in the poet. The thatched cottage where Clare was born was bought by the John Clare Trust in The Cottage at 12 Woodgate, Helpston, has been restored using traditional building methods and is open to the public. In the John Clare Trust received a further grant from the Heritage Lottery Fund to help preserve the building and provide educational activities for youngsters visiting the cottage.
