Abstract

 

The present paper entitled “Dejection, desolation and Note of Aspiration with the Helm of Sorrow: A Critical Study of the selected poetry of John Clare” is nonetheless a difficult task for me to produce. In dealing this issue with the most serious notions of John Clare I don’t rather couldn’t locate the stand point in terms of the poetical works of Clare. Clare, a villager of Soke of Peterborough in Northamptonshire and a son of a firm labourer, sees the life from the core of the society from the true sense of the system. His poetry touches a major span of 20th century literature and is treated as one of the greatest contributions of the poetry of the 19th century English literature. He in his child was became an agricultural labourer also. His formal education was brief and wrote in Northamptonshire dialect to regulate the local words of the literary canon. His bold and willful struggle helps him to find a place for his poetry and from this point of view he seeks to perpetuate the note of dejection, desolation and despondency for his subject of poetry and furthermore recapitulates his high aspiration to be united with the Ultimate with the helm of sorrow. The focal point of my present paper is to expose the doctrine and the notion of the thematic movement of dejection and lamentation that has highly been alluded with the poetical sketches of Clare with the very philosophy of his personal life. Tone and sense of dejection and growing but consistent desolation are very related with the life and works of poet.

Keywords: Dejection, desolation, aspiration, helm of sorrow, thematic movement of lamentation, philosophy of life.
