Few authors benefit from being set in their contemporary context
more than Samuel Johnson. Samuel Johnson in Context is a guide to
his world, offering readers a comprehensive account of
eighteenth-century life and culture as it relates to his work.
Short, lively and eminently readable chapters illuminate not only
Johnson's own life, writings and career, but the literary,
critical, journalistic, social, political, scientific, artistic,
medical and financial contexts in which his works came into being.
Written by leading experts in Johnson and in eighteenth-century
studies, these chapters offer both depth and range of information
and suggestions for further study and research. Richly illustrated,
with a chronology of Johnson's life and works and an extensive
bibliography, this book is a major new work of reference on
eighteenth-century culture and the age of Johnson.
