Based on real situations, The Quickening Maze won over UK critics and visitors alike using its rapturous prose and vivid exploration of poetry and madness. In 1837, after many years of fighting alcoholism and depressive disorder, the great character poet John Clare sees himself in High Beach-a mental institution situated in Epping Forest on the outskirts of London. It isn't a long time before another famed writer, the young Alfred Tennyson, goes nearby and grows up entwined in the catastrophic strategies of the hospital's owner, the peculiar Dr. Matthew Allen, his unhappy adolescent little girl, and a coterie of secret local people. With lyrical sophistication, the cloistered world of High Beach and its own residents are brought richly to life in this charming book.
