Samuel Johnson: Selected Writings: A Tercentenary Celebration; Samuel Johnson; Edited by Peter Martin; Thanks to Boswell’s monumental biography of Samuel Johnson, we remember Dr. Johnson today as a great wit and conversationalist, the rationalist epitome and the sage of the Enlightenment. But in Johnson’s own day, he was best known as an essayist, critic, and lexicographer. At the center of this collection are the periodical essays from the Rambler, Adventurer, and Idler. Together, these works—allied in their literary, social, and moral concerns—are the ones that continue to speak urgently to readers today.; Hardcover 2009
