 note = {application/pdf, 論文(Article), In this paper some features of Clare's molding of Lubin, the hero of 'The Village Minstrel,' are sought after with regard to the words "joy," "artless," and "fancy," and at the same time Clare's thought and feeling are considered. The variety of themes of this long poem-realism that is characteristic of Lubin's fancy, his close attention to nature, his curiosity to know about nonhuman life, his love for the common people's culture, his sympathy with the agricultural labourer, wrong pursuit of self-interest, the loss of home (nest and den) brought about by enclosure, man's coexistence with nonhuman life-show how extensive Clare's interest is, and how far into the future he can see. These themes unfold themselves in the ensuing poems: The Parish, The Shepherd's Calendar, and The Rural Muse. We can see in 'The Village Minstrel' the original form of almost every theme of his later successful poems. W.J. Keith thinks that the themes of this poem are comprehensive, and therefore that it is an important poem. Mark Storey points out that Clare's consciousness of his community develops and shapes itself into a more definite view of society in this poem, and that this development is important in its anticipation of The Shepherd's Calendar. Storey's following comment may be one of those which express succinctly what are characteristics of 'The Village Minstrel': "In the long poem 'The Village Minstrel' that headed the 1821 collection Clare had, with some success, been able to place his response to the natural world in a wider context which embraced the whole village community."},
