Expected to ship within 5 - 10 working days
|
A one-volume collection of the prose and poetry of
eighteenth-century Britain's pre-eminent lexicographer, critic,
biographer, and poet Samuel Johnson Samuel Johnson was
eighteenth-century Britain's preeminent man of letters, and his
influence endures to this day. He excelled as a moral and literary
critic, biographer, lexicographer, and poet. This anthology,
designed to make Johnson's essential works accessible to students
and general readers, draws its texts from the definitive Yale
Edition of the Works of Samuel Johnson. In most cases, texts are
included in full rather than excerpted. The anthology includes many
essays from The Rambler and other periodicals; Rasselas; the
prefaces to Johnson's Dictionary and his edition of Shakespeare;
the complete Lives of Cowley, Milton, Pope, Savage, and Gray, as
well as generous selections from A Journey to the Western Islands
of Scotland. Some parts are arranged thematically, allowing readers
to focus on such topics as religion, marriage, war, and literature.
The anthology includes a biographical introduction, and its ample
annotation updates and enlarges the commentary in the YaleEdition.
