Book excerpt: "Christopher Smart (1722-1771) is popularly known for having written his exuberant lyric A Song to David and the cryptic Jubilate Agno while locked away in a madhouse, then ending his days in a debtors' jail. But this close and sensitive study shows him to be our finest and our most important religious poet between Herbert and Hopkins. Smart is also a pivotal figure in eighteenth century poetry in that while his early work has echoes of Milton, his final poems, Songs for the Amusement of Children, with their simplicity and their woodcuts, clearly anticipate Blake's Songs of Innocence. Central to Smart's work is the line in Jubilate Agno 'For by the grace of God I am the Reviver of Adoration amongst English-Men'. In contrast to the grimness of much evangelical writing and despite his own personal hardships, Smart is seen here as a poet of Adoration and of Joy."--BOOK JACKET.

Download or read book Christopher Smart written by Chris Mounsey and published by Bucknell University Press. This book was released on 2001 with total page 356 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "This new biography of Christopher Smart offers a picture of a multifaceted eighteenth-century wit whose writing has far-reaching social, political, and historical significance. Poet, journalist, theater performer, cross-dresser, and theologian, who was questionably incarcerated for insanity, wherever Smart found himself his approach to life was at once serious and joyful, confirming him as one of God's clowns." "Building on previous biographical, bibliographical, and critical work - as well as on a broad scholarship on the publishing trade, on Grub Street and the position of the professional writer, and on the institutional treatment of madness in eighteenth-century England - Chris Mounsey constructs a version of Smart's life that is radically original. In its intelligent use of legal, parliamentary, and other archives, Mounsey both reappraises the familiar source material and mounts a challenge to earlier accounts of Smart's life and career. New interpretations of Smart's relationship with others (including his father-in-law John Newbery), his life on Grub Street as a political satirist, and his involvement in theological speculations provide a fuller and more engaging picture of the social, political, scientific, and religious context of his life and work."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.
