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.

Download or read book Christopher Smart written by Neil Curry and published by Liverpool University Press. This book was released on 2005 with total page 136 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. 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.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A vital, engaging, and hugely enjoyable guide to poetry, from ancient times to the present, by one of our greatest champions of literature The Times and Sunday Times, Best Books of 2020 “[A] fizzing, exhilarating book.”—Sebastian Faulks, Sunday Times What is poetry? If music is sound organized in a particular way, poetry is a way of organizing language. It is language made special so that it will be remembered and valued. It does not always work—over the centuries countless thousands of poems have been forgotten. But this Little History is about some that have not. John Carey tells the stories behind the world’s greatest poems, from the oldest surviving one written nearly four thousand years ago to those being written today. Carey looks at poets whose works shape our views of the world, such as Dante, Chaucer, Shakespeare, Whitman, and Yeats. He also looks at more recent poets, like Derek Walcott, Marianne Moore, and Maya Angelou, who have started to question what makes a poem “great” in the first place. For readers both young and old, this little history shines a light for readers on the richness of the world’s poems—and the elusive quality that makes them all the more enticing.
