Paperback. Condition: New. Clare records that it was 'a very old custom among villagers in summer time to stock a piece of greensward full of field flowers and place it a an ornament in their cottages which ornaments are called Midsummer Cushions'. This 'cottage custom' suggested the title to him for this collection. The text of the poems has been prepared from Clare's own fair-copy in Peterborough Museum (MS A54), and is, as far as possible, an exact transcription of his own punctuation and spelling. Every effort has been taken to ensure that the reader is able to get back to the authentic voice of Clare. Here, for the first time, is the book which John Clare himself wanted to publish in 1832, but for which he could not find a sufficient number of subscribers. It is an irony which Clare would have appreciated that it took almost 150 years to bring out the book. Almost a third of the book's 361 poems are now published for the first time. We should now be in a position to give Clare the recognition he desired - not as a peasant phenomenon - but as our foremost naturalist poet in the tradition of 'national' poetry in which the English countryside is rendered with almost obsessive accuracy.

First edition. xi, 216pp., frontispiece portrait of John Clare and 18 other black and white illustrations. Publisher's navy cloth with gilt titles to spine. Very light foxing to top edge and endpapers. Otherwise the book is in excellent condition with no inscriptions. The unclipped dust jackethas some foxing to the right edge of the front panel and the spine is toned. Now in a removable clear palstic protector. From the front flap - "John and Anne Tibble are widely recognized as the leading authorities on John Clare, that unique and too long neglected peasant boy who is now, at last, ninety years after his death, recognized as one of the truly great English poets. This new book is a major work. It contains the fruits of twenty years' careful and loving research. Old mistakes are corrected, and a mass of absolutely fresh and important material appears in the later stages of the book. This is a most moving biography, with an appeal that extends far beyond those who are readers of Clare's poetry. It is the tragedy of a genius who, without the means to protect himself from the hurly-burly of the world, was misunderstood and cruelly neglected, ending his days in the lunatic asylum to which he was (probably wrongly) consigned. Jacket design by Francis Minns".
