To mark the tercentenary of Samuel Johnson's birth in 2009, the
specially-commissioned essays contained here review his scholarly
reputation. An international team of experts reflects
authoritatively on the various dimensions of literary, historical,
critical and ethical life touched by Johnson's extraordinary
achievement. The volume distinctively casts its net widely and
combines consistently innovative thinking on Johnson's historical
role with a fresh sense of present criticism. Chapters cover
subjects as diverse as Johnson's moral philosophy, his legal
thought, his influence on Jane Austen, and the question of the
Johnson canon. The contributors examine the larger theoretical and
scholarly contexts in which it is now possible to situate his work,
and from which it may often be necessary to differentiate it. All
the contributors have a distinguished record of scholarship in
eighteenth-century studies, Johnson scholarship, and cultural
history and theory.
