Han var er en af de betydeligste skikkelser i den danske litteraturhistorie. Han debuterede som digter, men det er i den realistiske novelleproduktion, at han viste sig som en litterær fornyer og foregangsmand med fortællinger fra det jyske hovedland.
Blicher var hele sit liv plaget af sygdom, økonomiske problemer og alkoholproblemer. Livet som præst blev ofte overskygget af lysten til at vandre i mange dage på heden
Blicher skrev 95 noveller og mere end 340 digte foruden en lang række artikler om både politik, topografi, landbrug og jagt.

Text on the plaque, written by Jeppe Aakær

JUTLAND'S POETS, THE SINGER FROM THE MOOR
1782-1848.
HE TOOK OUR LANGUAGE TO HIS HUNTER'S CHEST AND LAID IT UP TO HIS HEART. THEN ITS STRINGS RANGED WITH THE PRAISE OF THE PEOPLE AND THE JUTE LEARNED HIS ABC
WHILE THE SMILE LIGHTED AROUND.
