Sunday 7 December 2008 16:30-17:00 (Radio 4 FM)
Peggy Reynolds explores the background, effect and lasting appeal of some well-loved poems.
3/4: I Am, by John Clare.
Peggy examines the poem's expression of feelings of dispossession engendered by the land grab of the agricultural enclosures of the early-19th century, and Clare's residency in a lunatic asylum at the time of writing it.
