Christopher Smart Knihy
Christopher Smart byl anglický básník, známý především svými náboženskými verši, ale i díly zabývajícími se přírodou a anglickým nacionalismem. Jeho tvorba je poznamenána jeho osobními zkušenostmi, včetně let, kdy byl nucen pobývat v azylu, a později ve vězení pro dlužníky. Navzdory nepříznivým okolnostem a rozporuplnému přijetí jeho děl za jeho života, jeho básně jako „A Song to David“ a „Jubilate Agno“ svědčí o jeho jedinečném hlasu a literární síle. Smart byl ve své době vlivnou postavou londýnského kulturního života, přestože jeho pověst poznamenaly osobní potíže.
