Clare (John). The Shepherd's Calendar; with Village Stories, and Other Poems, 1st edition, published for John Taylor, 1827, half-title present, advertisement leaf at rear, endpapers partially toned and with hinges splitting, bookplate of Richard Adams, and book ticket bearing initials 'AHA', front free endpaper with ink inscription dated 1831, and later manuscript note below dated 1869, untrimmed, original boards with printed paper spine label (latter toned), spine extremities rubbed, 8vo in 12s, housed in a cloth folder, in a brown quarter morocco slipcase, raised bands, gilt lettered in second and fourth compartments and at foot Tinker 638. A wonderful association copy in the publisher's original binding. Inscribed by Eliza Emmerson (1782-1854), John Clare's friend, patron and editor, to distinguished scholar and author Derwent Coleridge (1800-1883), the third child of Samuel Taylor Coleridge: 'To The Revd. Derwent Coleridge. with the perfect esteem & regard of the Author's Lady friend Eliza L. Emmerson. January 17th 1831'. The manuscript note below reads 'Bequeathed to Tom Lallison Decr. 1869'. Eliza Emmerson was a key figure in the life of John Clare, and she was also a patron of Derwent Coleridge, amongst others. She corresponded and socialised with both writers, and circulated their works, thereby contributing to the proliferation of new literary ideas. The British Library holds approximately 1200 letters received by John Clare, 300 of them from Eliza; the two of them corresponded over a period of seventeen years (although the whereabouts of Clare's letters to Eliza is sadly unknown, if indeed they are still extant). She was an important mediator between John Clare and his patron Lord Radstock, frequently having to navigate her way through the latter's demands on the poet to avoid radicalism and uphold social mores (or what Clare referred to as "false delicasy" [sic]), and often giving a woman's perspective on Clare's verse. She was also heavily involved in the various disputes between Clare's publisher, John Taylor, and Radstock, whose association was characterised by a mutual dislike for one another. Eliza's relationship with the poet was not just on a professional level; it became a personal friendship, so much so that Clare and his wife named their daughter after her, and appointed her the child's godmother. Eliza probably began corresponding with Derwent Coleridge after hearing he that he was ill, having previously already moved in the same circles as the Coleridge family. She is known to have given Derwent Coleridge at least one other volume of Clare's poetry, when he visited her at her home in Oxford Street in June 1823. Eliza boasted to Clare about her relationship with Derwent, and this led to some jealousy on Clare's part. However, under Eliza's influence, Derwent did help to introduce Clare's work to a new generation of readers. Eliza wrote poetry herself, some of it on the subject of John Clare: 'Lines on receiving the Bust of the Northamptonshire Poet, executed by Henry Behne, Esq.' (Morning Post, 14th April 1829), and 'Lines to the Northamptonshire Poet' (Morning Post, 5th May 1830). In later years, when John Clare's mental health declined, Eliza Emmerson became increasingly reclusive. Whilst her poet friend lived out his final years in an asylum in Northampton, she shut herself away, receiving few visitors, and immersing herself in writing poetry and studying Dante. (1)
