A curious but useful collection of interpretive essays on one of the most vexing but endlessly rewarding English poets. Remarkably hard to find in the used trade. The essay by William Kumbier is by itself worth the price of the book. Incidentally, this is Exhibit "A" under the heading, "You can't judge a book by its cover". The dust-jacket art is simply ugly and irrelevant. Actually, while we're at it, the title itself is pretty misleading, as neither the editor not the various contributors accomplishes the well-nigh impossible feat of transforming Smart into a figure of the Enlightenment, at-least as most people might define that, say in terms of Voltaire, Hume, Beccaria, or any of those folks.

In this new collection, an impressive group of critics and literary scholars reappraises Smart's legacy and his remarkable impact on twentieth-century poetry. Often considered a minor poet, notable mainly for his reputed madness, his dazzling "Song to David," and his friendship with Samuel Johnson, Smart has begun to emerge as a figure of interest as the demand has grown for historically nuanced studies of the Enlightenment and its values. This volume offers a finely historicized approach to Smart's work, highlighting the markedly transitional quality of the eighteenth-century moment as regards the Enlightenment project. The book also analyzes the generative impact of Smart on modern poetry and music, demonstrating the reach of Smart's contemporary resonance. Keine Bibliotheksbeschreibungen gefunden. |
