Christopher Smart Boeken
Christopher Smart was een Engelse dichter wiens werk, hoewel vaak religieus van aard, ook de natuur en het Engels nationalisme verkende. Zijn geschriften zijn diep verweven met zijn persoonlijke worstelingen, waaronder periodes van opsluiting in een gesticht en later in een schuldengevangenis. Ondanks tegenspoed en gemengde ontvangst tijdens zijn leven, onthult Smart's vers, met name "A Song to David" en "Jubilate Agno", een unieke en krachtige literaire stem. Hij was een opmerkelijk figuur in het culturele landschap van Londen, bekend om zijn bijdragen aan populaire tijdschriften en zijn onderscheidende poëtische stijl.
