Samuel Johnson was a literary icon in his day - a prolific writer
in a wide range of genres, producing poetry, a philosophical novel,
literary criticism and periodical essays as well as the famous
dictionary. Yet despite his legendary status as one of the founding
fathers of modern English literature, few of Johnson's works are
widely read today. This book suggests that Johnson's writings need
to be appreciated in the context of contemporary debates over the
role and status of literature within a rapidly developing and
expanding culture. They manifest a fundamental ambivalence towards
social and literary change that can be seen to epitomise the
radical uncertainties of their age.
