But this close and sensitive study show him to be out finest and out most important religious poet between Herbert and Hopkins. Customer Reviews Average Rating: Rating: - Christopher Smart - A joyous poet, a joyous book Christopher Smart is the most significant English religious poet between George Herbert and Gerard Manley Hopkins and this book shows why. It shows how Smart's early work owes much to Milton and yet his later work looks forward to William Blake. Neil Curry has managed to couple academic accuracy with what is clearly a deep love for the poet himself. Smart was a joyous poet, and this is without doubt a joyous book.
