This is the memoir of a child growing up in England at war. Life on a small farm in Sussex was full of the beauties of the countryside; though it was peopled not only with all the rural characters - farmers and labourers, stockmen and squires, but also with poachers and poisoners, bobbies, blacksmiths, charcoal burners, pedlars, and maybe arsonists too. In the background, this was a countryside peopled with soldiers from many parts, tanks, Bren gun carriers, military convoys, and aria-singing prisoners. Overhead the Spitfires and the Hurricanes of the RAF battled with the Luftwaffe, and Typhoons practised the dangerous art of nudging Flying Bombs back towards the Channel. Life at a tough sports-mad public school on the coast was more to be endured than enjoyed. But a menace threatened from an unexpected quarter, which should have existed for our protection. It slowly became clear that our farm was fighting against the threat of intentional ruin.

Robert Bloomfield’s The Farmer’s Boy was the most successful poem of the “Romantic” period, selling 100,000 copies between 1800 and 1830. However, what was marketed was not the poem which the working-class Bloomfield had written, but a highly polished, politely spelled and punctuated re-write, prepared by the local squire, who deliberately covered up the fact that Bloomfield had written originally for a Suffolk voice, with Suffolk vowel-sounds and Suffolk idioms. This edition prints Bloomfield’s first manuscript, and then has a parallel text of the “polished” first edition, opposite Bloomfield’s second manuscript, made for his own use and for that of his family, in which he changes the poem back to the form in which he wrote, heard, and read it. Thus Bloomfield’s intentions appear for the first time, edited in detail from the original manuscripts at Harvard. Also included are the two eighteenth-century poems The Thresher’s Labour by Stephen Duck, and The Woman’s Labour by Mary Collier.

Despite his literary successes-- publishing six volumes of poetry, a play, and a children's book-- Robert Bloomfield never escaped from poverty or anxiety and died early and in distress. This penniless history supports the description of Bloomfield as the most successful of the self-taught "peasant poets" of the Romantic period and underscores the incredible odds that any of his writings should be discovered at all. This selection of Bloomfield's poems was originally published in 1998 and was the first scholarly edition of his work. Bloomfield believed that his patron, Capel Lofft, had altered the text excessively, and so this edition has completely restored Bloomfield's own, much fresher text from the autobiographical manuscript at Harvard University. Revised and enlarged, this version also includes a selection of Bloomfield's prose prefaces and explanatory notes, a chronology of his life, and a list of further reading.
