Madrigals & Chronicles: Being Newly Found Poems written by John Clare

John Clare
Edmund Blunden, preface and commentary

The Beaumont Press 1924

First edition hardcover. Decorated paper over cream cloth, gilt lettering on spine, printed on handmade paper. Very good; spine is sun-darkened, cover is toned. One of 400 copies printed, of which this #375. With illustrations and portraits. Dismissed as "The Northamptonshire Peasant Poet" in the 19th Century, it was thanks to Edmund Blunden and books such as this one that Clare came to be celebrated.
