Description

This close and sensitive study shows Christopher Smart (1722-1771) to be one of the finest and most important English religious poets between George Herbert and Gerard Manley Hopkins. 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 joy.
