Samuel Johnson famously referred to his future biographer, the
unsociable magistrate Sir John Hawkins, as “a most unclubbable
man." Conversely, this celebratory volume gathers distinguished
eighteenth-century studies scholars to honor the achievements,
professional generosity, and sociability of Greg Clingham, taking
as its theme textual and social group formations. Here, Philip
Smallwood examines the “mirrored minds” of Johnson and
Shakespeare, while David Hopkins parses intersections of the
general and particular in three key eighteenth-century figures.
Aaron Hanlon draws parallels between instances of physical rambling
and rhetorical strategies in Johnson’s Rambler, while Cedric D.
Reverand dissects the intertextual strands uniting Dryden and Pope.
Contributors take up other topics significant to the field,
including post-feminism, travel, and seismology. Whether discussing
cultural exchange or textual reciprocities, each piece extends the
theme, building on the trope of relationship to organize and
express its findings. Rounding out this collection are tributes
from Clingham’s former students and colleagues, including
original poetry.
