Price: £8

Talks: John Clare

From the festival website:
“This event will illuminate a particular time in the life of the great nature poet, John Clare. Both Iain Sinclair and Adam Foulds have written very different books inspired by the time around his incarceration in High Beach Asylum in Epping Forest. In 1841 John Clare fled Epping Forest and walked eighty miles to his home in Helpston, near Peterborough. In Edge of the Orison Iain Sinclair follows in his footsteps. In The Quickening Maze set in 1840, Adam Foulds brilliantly imagines the closed world of High Beech and its various inmates.”
