Visiting John Clare

Описание к видео Visiting John Clare

The poet John Clare's cottage and visitors' centre in the village of Helpston, near Peterborough is a wonderfully evocative place. We went there this summer and had the place more or less to ourselves so it felt very much as it must have been in Clare's lifetime. We also went to the local woods where he used to walk before mental illness confined him to an asylum. The sense of space and freedom that meant so much to him was very poignantly tangible.

Music is by Seth Lakeman - 'Cape Clear'. Very appropriate as Clare himself used to play the violin.
