My Take
Christopher Smart fascinates me as one of those eighteenth-century figures who lived entirely through language. He wrote hymns, children's literature, and worked the stage, all while running in the orbit of Samuel Johnson and Henry Fielding at the heart of London. The mischief of publishing under a female pseudonym only deepens my affection for him. More than 250 years on, what survives is the heat of a man who believed words could reshape the world. In an age before any megaphone but the printed page and a sharp tongue, he made the city talk. I have real reverence for talents like his.
