Biography:
CLARKE, Stephen Reynolds (fl 1811-30)
He came from an Ipswich family, the son of Ann (Bates) and Rix Clarke; his brother George was for a time a printer and publisher in Ipswich. But they left Suffolk about 1809, and all his publications were with London publishers. The Kiss is the only published play. His later books were instructional and historical: The British Botanist (1820), addressed to mothers responsible for the education of their children; Hortus Anglicanus (1822), on the English garden; and works on the topography and antiquities of England (1826), Yorkshire (1828), and Lancashire (1830).
