    Clarification of words[edit]

    Under Midlife reads: "The Shepherd's Calendar (1827) met with little success, which was not increased by his hawking it himself." What does this term 'hawking' mean? Is there any other synonyms that we can use to describe this, as it seems like a culture specific slang? Tradereddy (talk) 03:34, 23 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

    No, it's not slang, but since the law today forbids the unlicensed hawking of goods in the street, we don't use it nearly as much as our ancestors did. Mind you, in India... Chiswick Chap (talk) 07:55, 23 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

    Inthis episode from July 2013, "Presenter Tim Wonnacott visits Peterborough Museum and looks at artefacts belonging to 'Peasant Poet' John Clare, including his snuffbox and the poem he was writing when he died." But no longer available in iPlayer; alas. Martinevans123 (talk) 23:54, 16 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

    Spiritual influence[edit]

    The statements "Clare was a Anglican" and "Clare honours the figure of Christ in poems such as "the Stranger"" need reliable secondary sources, with page numbers, not just the primary material or links to commercial book selling sites. Thanks. Martinevans123 (talk) 10:00, 7 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

    Poem Hunter is a perfectly good source to support an extract from the poem "The Stranger", but not for what it's about. Thanks. Martinevans123 (talk) 10:37, 7 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]
