Description
The life and spirit of John Clare, one of our great recorders of the natural world, rests at the heart of our Summer 2023 issue. We look back, 30 years on, from Rigby Graham’s retracing of Clare’s steps when the poet absconded from an asylum in Essex, and pay tribute to Ronald Blythe who died earlier this year, ex-President of the Clare Society and a great naturalist in his own right. Van Gogh’s private reading (before he was himself committed) features in our colour column. And two greats of British art, Paula Rego and Elisabeth Frink, loom large as writers Laura Gascoigne and Caroline Wiseman extoll their projects in print. Plenty to enjoy in the summer sun.
