초록
John Clare(1793-1864) wrote some elegies in protest at the social changes of his native village, Helpston, after the enclosure. Some of the changes were the closure of commons, the stopping of paths, loss of labour and of wages, the ploughing of meadows and the felling of trees. These were to affect not only the rural labouring poors of Helpston, but those of other villages of England. Interestingly, John Clare didn't focused on the loss of a most basic human freedom of access to land in order to have a home in which to live and the field in which to work. In “The Lament of Swordy Well” and “To a Fallen Elm,” we can see the ascription of human feelings and moral attributes to nature had the virtue of ironically emphasizing the inhumanity of enclosure. We can see that Clare's responses to the enclosure were shaped not only by his experiences as a labourer but by his acute consciousness of his identity and resources as a poet. For John Clare, the enclosure stands for both the economic suffering for the poor and the loss of the freedom to wander. Finally, he strongly emphasized that anyone can't possess every living thing in this world involving Helpston.
