Reading Christopher Smart in the Twenty-first Century: "By Succession of Delight"

The book stands as a new bench-mark in Smart studies for the twenty-first century. The essays explore the energy of Christopher Smart's wide-ranging participation in eighteenth-century print culture: not only his often unbuttoned and vigorous writings themselves, but also the multiple cultural fields in which he operated, which included poetry, journalism, hymns and songs, translation, the theatre and books for children; thus the book offers rich insights into eighteenth-century literary, political and cultural history.
