Johnson, Writing, and Memory demonstrates the importance of memory
in Samuel Johnson's oeuvre. Greg Clingham argues that this is a
notion of memory that is derived from the process of historical and
creative writing, and is found to be embodied in works of
literature and other cultural forms. He examines Johnson's writing,
including his biographical writing, as it intersects with
eighteenth-century thought on literature, history, fiction and law
and in its subsequent compatibility with and resistance to modern
theory. Clingham's widely researched study provides an account of
Johnson's intellectual positions that incorporates the challenges
they pose to recent critical theory, and argues for Johnson's
inclusion in a new theorisation of terms such as 'authority',
'nature' and 'memory'. Clingham does this work of intellectual
abstraction while remaining focused in the concrete realities of
Johnson's writing itself, offering a theoretically nuanced and
original account of Johnson's work.
