"This richly suggestive essay will send many readers back to the work to discover examples of Johnson's oscillation..." --"The Times Literary Supplement" (UK)

Product Description

In one of the more sudden shifts of perspective, and hotly contested controversies of historical and literary scholarship, our view of Johnson has been fundamentally changed. This volume offers an informed account of what has been achieved, and points to the new directions in which scholarship is developing. It should be of interest for all concerned with 18th century studies.
