The references to coronets and earls are deployed ironically—the poem's speaker is not, in fact, impressed with the Vere de Vere ancestry, and all of her noble claims can't balance out Lady Clara's coldness, pride, and idleness (as proven by the fact that she apparently has no better claim on her time than breaking hearts).

Lady Clare was first published in 1842. After 1851 no alterations were made. [1]This poem was suggested by Susan Ferrier's 1824 historical novel The Inheritance.A comparison with the plot of Ferrier's novel will show how Tennyson adapted the tale to his ballad:
Clare personifies an old limestone quarry and heath that was close to his home in Helpston, Northamptonshire, and, using its voice, speaks of the despair it felt at the hardships of the poor and the land around it ever since it has been enclosed by the local parish. The poem is one of Clare's most famous protestation poems.
