About the author

Mildred M. Coen is credited as the author of Country Life in the Poetry of John Clare, a literary study that has been preserved through Project Gutenberg and later reprints. Her work focuses on John Clare's writing and its close ties to the English countryside.

Reliable biographical details about her life are scarce in the sources available online. Because of that, it is safest to remember her through the book itself: a focused piece of criticism that helped keep attention on Clare's world of fields, villages, and ordinary country experience.
