内容説明
Christopher Smart has usually been represented as a poet whose madness or mysticism allowed him to be treated as an eccentric exception, a colourful visionary of only peripheral importance to our understanding of 18th century literature. This study offers a reappraisal of Smart's religious poetry in the context of what are now often seen as disparate areas of thought: theories of language and of natural philosophy. The poetry is also considered in the context of some of the vast range of writing - from private devotions to sermons, from hymns to biblical criticism - which demonstrates the pervasive importance of religion in the period, and the complexity of the issues it raised.
