With these two volumes Princeton University Press concludes the
first scholarly edition of the letters of Samuel Johnson to appear
in forty years. Volume IV chronicles the last three years of
Johnson's life, an epistolary endgame that includes the breakup of
the friendship with Hester Thrale and a poignant reaching out to
new friends and new experiences. Volume V includes not only the
comprehensive index but those undated letters that cannot
confidently be assigned to a specific year, "ghost" letters (those
whose existence is documented in other sources), three letters that
have recently been recovered, and translations of Johnson's letters
in Latin. Bruce Redford is Professor of English at the University
of Chicago and the author of The Converse of the Pen: Acts of
Intimacy in the Eighteenth-Century Familiar Letter (Chicago).
Originally published in 1994.
