The English poet Christopher Smart (1722–1771) was confined to mental asylums from May 1757 until January 1763. Smart was admitted to St Luke's Hospital for Lunatics, , London, on 6 May 1757. He was taken there by his father-in-law, John Newbery, although he may have been confined in a private madhouse before then. While in St Luke's he wrote Jubilate Agno and A Song to David, the poems considered to be his greatest works. Although many of his contemporaries agreed that Smart was "mad", accounts of his condition and its ramifications varied, and some felt that he had been committed unfairly.

Smart fue admitido en el Hospital de San Lucas para Lunáticos, en Upper Moorfields, Londres, el 6 de mayo de 1757. Fue llevado allí por su suegro, John Newbery, aunque es posible que haya estado encerrado en un manicomio privado antes de esa fecha. Mientras estaba en San Lucas escribió Jubilate Agno y A Song to David, poemas considerados como sus mejores obras. Aunque muchos de sus contemporáneos estuvieron de acuerdo en que Smart estaba "loco", los relatos de su condición y sus ramificaciones variaron, y algunos sintieron que había sido encerrado injustamente.
