Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book presents an annotated edition of a renowned and elusive poem by the eighteenth-century English writer Christopher Smart. A Song to David is an ambitious work that combines religious devotion with imaginative brilliance, establishing its place as one of the greatest devotional poems in the English language.

By celebrating the spiritual journey of King David through themes of praise, adoration, and wisdom, the author presents a compelling vision of faith and transcendence. The book contains extensive annotations that provide invaluable insights into the poem's historical, literary, and theological contexts. These annotations illuminate the complex symbolism, biblical allusions, and philosophical ideas woven into Smart's verse. This meticulously edited edition also includes a comprehensive introduction that explores Smart's life and work, examining the influences that shaped A Song to David and its enduring significance in English literature. This book is not only an essential resource for scholars and students of English literature but also a captivating and rewarding read for anyone interested in the intersection of faith, poetry, and the human experience.
