The present volume, which contains miscellaneous English and Latin
verse, written throughout his career, shows Smart as he appeared to
his contemporaries: a brilliant but wayward scholar, who threw away
a life of distinction at Cambridge to engage in the raffish world
of the London theaters and pleasure gardens. By presenting the
poems in chronological order, it also reveals the pattern of his
evolution from both academic and popular roles into a poet
dedicated to Christian service. Over thirty pieces in this volume
have not appeared in any previous collection, and several are
reprinted for the first time since the 18th century. Translations
are provided for all Latin poems.
