Samuel Johnson's life was situated within a rich social and
intellectual community of friendships-and antagonisms. Community
and Solitude is a collection of ten essays that explores
relationships between Johnson and several of his main
contemporaries-including James Boswell, Edmund Burke, Frances
Burney, Robert Chambers, Oliver Goldsmith, Bennet Langton, Arthur
Murphy, Richard Savage, Anna Seward, and Thomas Warton-and analyzes
some of the literary productions emanating from the pressures
within those relationships. In their detailed and careful
examination of particular works situated within complex social and
personal contexts, the essays in this volume offer a "thick" and
illuminating description of Johnson's world that also engages with
larger cultural and aesthetic issues, such as intertextuality,
literary celebrity, narrative, the nature of criticism, race,
slavery, and sensibility.
