Críticas:
"A seamless blend of historical fact and fiction...Foulds's writing has a poetic intensity and his descriptions of the autumnal woods around the asylum are as piercingly keen as his insight into the minds of the patients, the doctor and his family" (Daily Mail)
"Adam Foulds won the 2008 Costa Poetry Award, and he is a skilful poet. These talents are well displayed in his prose which, while lyrical, never grows fussy or highfalutin'. He draws a walk-on character with a few deft strokes" (Lionel Shriver Telegraph)
"A work of strikingly beautiful, unforced writing" (Daily Express)
"The chief pleasure of the book is its prose: exquisite yet measured, precise, attentive to the world" (Sunday Telegraph)
"Fould's exceptional novel is like a lucid dream: earthy and true, but shifting, metamorphic - the word-perfect fruit of a poet's sharp eye and novelist's limber reach" (The Times)

The Times
'Intensely pleasurable to read - studded with electrically acute images and phrases'
Observer
Epping Forest, 1840. Struggling with alcohol, critical neglect and his powerful imagination, the poet John Clare is incarcerated in High Beach Asylum. At the same time, the young Alfred Tennyson moves nearby and becomes entangled in the ill-fated schemes of the charismatic asylum owner, Dr Matthew Allen. Beyond the walls lies nature, Clare's paradise. For him, a locked door is a kind of death and Clare longs for home, redemption and escape.
Based on real events, brilliantly re-imagined, the closed world of High Beach and Clare's vertiginous fall into madness are brought vividly to life.
'The Quickening Maze confirms Foulds as one of the most interesting and talented writers of his generation'
