Samuel Johnson's Dictionary of the English Language, the first
great English dictionary and one of the most famous books in the
English language, appeared in April 1755. To commemorate the 250th
anniversary, this volume brings together fourteen original essays
by international scholars representing several disciplines:
literature, lexicology, linguistics, textual criticism and
bibliography. The essays explore familiar and unfamiliar aspects of
Johnson's masterpiece, ranging from the history of patronage to the
book's typographical design, from the political background to the
treatment of compound words. Challenging the myths surrounding the
book and offering the most comprehensive and wide-ranging study of
the Dictionary ever attempted, these essays present the latest
scholarship on the Dictionary and open up new perspectives and
directions for future research.
