Christopher Smart

    Christopher Smart bol anglický básnik, známy predovšetkým svojimi náboženskými veršami, ale aj dielami zaoberajúcimi sa prírodou a anglickým nacionalizmom. Jeho tvorba je poznačená jeho osobnými skúsenosťami, vrátane rokov, keď bol nútený pobývať v azyle, a neskôr vo väzení pre dlžníkov. Napriek nepriaznivým okolnostiam a rozporuplnému prijatiu jeho diel počas jeho života, jeho básne ako „A Song to David“ a „Jubilate Agno“ svedčia o jeho jedinečnom hlase a literárnej sile. Smart bol vo svojej dobe vplyvnou postavou londýnskeho kultúrneho života, hoci jeho povesť poznačili osobné problémy.
