A new edition of a 18th c. work written in a lunatic asylum, first published in the modern era in 1939. However, Bond realized the 1939 edtion had wrongly arranged the poem, and that it should be read antiphonally. Bond re-arranged the 1939 work so the two parts are read in conjunctionas in Hebrew Poetry, making it far less less mad than the work first appeared.

Hardcover. Condition: New. Dust Jacket Condition: New. Lemaire, Angela (illustrator). Limited Edition. Christopher Smart (1722-1771) was a major poet of great learning. Fascinated by the occult and the supernatural and Freemasonry, his poetry ranged over subjects which earned him a reputation of being mad.The Jubilate Agno is an edition of Kit Smart s wild and wonderful hymn of yearning and adoration for Creation in all its multifarious detail. It expresses his exuberance and overflows with his enthusiasms and blessings. He began writing this work in 1759 when his wild behaviour (which now we might call a nervous breakdown) had caused him to be locked up in St Luke s Hospital for the Insane. In his praise of all Creation he lists people, animals, birds, insects, fish, all of whom are blessed.His knowledge of the natural world is encyclopaedic and nothing is omitted! A section of it provides the text for Benjamin Britten s Rejoice in the Lamb - a cantata which will be familiar to many if only for the music about my cat Jeoffry . Angela Lemaire writes that she sees Smart, in one particular woodcut in the book, as a singing bird glimpsed through the obstructing branches of a tree. She expands on this: He has played with sounds and rhymes and rhythms and through this he has found unseen forces and told us about them and quotes Smart: For in my nature I quested for beauty, but God, God hath sent me to sea for pearls . . . For my talent is to give an Impression upon words by punching, that when the reader casts his eye upon em, he takes up the image from the mould I have made. The book came about after a wonderful encounter by us with a copy of the Gutenberg Bible and it can be said that the design, the imagery, the palette of rich colours were all influenced strongly by that early masterpiece of printing with moveable type which was enhanced by the decorations of scribes.There are woodcuts and linocuts throughout our text, some are printed in more than one colour, some in a single colour; there are initial capitals among the pages arranged in two columns, all to pay tribute to the design of Gutenberg.
