Selected Poems by Christopher Smart, edited with an introduction by Ruthven Todd. "The reputation of Christopher Smart among his contemporaries, Ruthven Todd tells us in his introduction, was that of a drunken, crazy little dog. Certainly, when we read of his life we find that it was chiefly a sequence of debt, imprisonment, drink and madness. But this little man was capable of great love- the memory of a childhood friend haunted him all his life- and of deep religious feeling which inspired A Song to David. Mr Todd is one of the foremost contemporary authorities on the eighteenth century and discusses Smart and his work against the background of his time. His selection of poems is thoroughly representative and includes a complete bibliography." The dust jacket is in good condition with a couple small tears on the back, and whilst the outside page edges are slightly foxed, the inner pages are in fantastic condition.
