Samuel Johnson in Perspective

TAYLOR FRANCIS LTD

sidottu
This expert resource offers original and fascinating insight into the life and work of Samuel Johnson (1709-1784). It examines the many ways in which Johnson may be enjoyed, and explores the reasons why his writings retain their appeal to the ‘common reader’. Samuel Johnson worked across a variety of genres—essays, poetry, fiction, criticism, biography, scholarly editing, lexicography, translation, sermons, and journalism. Featuring contributions from leading scholars, the volume offers expert insight into Johnson’s literary genres and the issues arising from his criticism. Part One addresses the range of Johnson’s poetry and its everyday consolations, and the background and affiliations of a selected range of poets examined by Johnson, their value today, and Johnson’s value as a poetical critic. In Part Two, contributors consider Johnson’s philosophical, theological and moral thought, aspects of travel writing and the life of the senses, definitions in the Dictionary, male and female friendship, biography and bibliography, domestic life, and cultural legacy. Samuel Johnson in Perspective is an authoritative and ambitious collection, which will appeal to the extensive hinterland of general readers, students, scholars of Johnson and of eighteenth-century literature.

The Life of Samuel Johnson

The Life of Samuel Johnson

James Boswell

Penguin Classics
2008
nidottu
In Boswell's Life of Samuel Johnson, one of the towering figures of English literature is revealed with unparalleled immediacy and originality, in a biography to which we owe much of our knowledge of the man himself. Through a series of richly detailed anecdotes, Johnson emerges as a sociable figure, vigorously engaging and fencing with great contemporaries such as Garrick, Goldsmith, Burney and Burke, and of course with Boswell himself. Yet anxieties and obsessions also darkened Johnson's private hours, and Boswell's attentiveness to every facet of Johnson's character makes this biography as moving as it is entertaining.In this entirely new and unabridged edition, David Womersley's introduction examines the motives behind Boswell's work, and the differences between the two men that drew them to each other. It also contains chronologies of Boswell and Johnson, appendices and comprehensive indexes, including biographical details.

No major author worked in more genres than Samuel Johnson--essays, poetry, fiction, criticism, biography, scholarly editing, lexicography, translation, sermons, journalism. His works are more extensive than those of any other canonical English writer, and no earlier writer's life was documented as thoroughly by contemporaries. Because it's so difficult to know him thoroughly, people have made do with surrogates and simplifications. But Johnson was much more complicated than the popular image of 'Dr. Johnson' suggests: socially conservative but also one of the most radical abolitionists of his age, a firm believer in social hierarchy but an outspoken supporter of women intellectuals, an uncompromising Christian moralist but also a penetrating critic of family structures. Labels fit him poorly. In The Oxford Handbook of Samuel Johnson, an international team of thirty-six scholars offers the most comprehensive examination ever attempted of one of the most complex figures in English literature. The book's first section examines Johnson's life and the texts of his works; the second, organized by genre, explores all his major works and many of his minor ones; the third, organized by topic, covers the subjects that were most important to him as a writer, as a thinker, and as a moralist.

Abyssinia's Samuel Johnson

Abyssinia's Samuel Johnson

Wendy Laura Belcher

Oxford University Press Inc
2012
sidottu
As a very young man, one of the most celebrated English authors of the eighteenth century translated a tome about Ethiopia. This experience permanently marked Samuel Johnson, leaving traces of the African discourse he encountered in that text in his drama Irene; several of his short stories; and his most famous fiction, Rasselas. In this book, Wendy Laura Belcher provides a much needed perspective in comparative literature and postcolonial studies on the power of the discourse of the other to infuse European texts. Belcher illuminates how the Western literary canon is globally produced by developing the powerful metaphor of spirit possession to posit some texts in the European canon as energumens, texts that are spoken through. Her model of discursive possession offers a new way of theorizing transcultural intertextuality, in particular how Europe's others have co-constituted European representations. Through close readings of primary and secondary sources in English, French, Portuguese, and Ge'ez, Belcher challenges conventional wisdom on Johnson's work, from the inspiration for the name Rasselas and the nature of Johnson's religious beliefs to what makes Rasselas so strange.
