Samuel Johnson, one of the most renowned authors of the eighteenth
century, became virtually a symbol of English national identity in
the century following his death in 1784. In Samuel Johnson and the
Making of Modern England Nicholas Hudson argues that Johnson not
only came to personify English cultural identity but did much to
shape it. Hudson examines his contribution to the creation of the
modern English identity, approaching Johnson's writing and
conversation from scarcely explored directions of cultural
criticism - class politics, feminism, party politics, the public
sphere, nationalism and imperialism. Hudson charts the career of an
author who rose from obscurity to fame during precisely the period
that England became the dominant ideological force in the Western
world. In exploring the relations between Johnson's career and the
development of England's modern national identity, Hudson develops
provocative arguments concerning both Johnson's literary
achievement and the nature of English Nationhood.
