　　Product De*ion

　　The Cambridge Companion to Samuel Johnson provides a unique

introduction to the works and intellectual life of one of the most

challenging and wide-ranging writers in English literary history.

Compiler of the first great English dictionary, editor of

Shakespeare, biographer and critic of the English poets, author

both of the influential journal Rambler and the popular fiction

Rasselas, and one of the most engaging conversationalists in

literary culture, Johnson is here illuminatingly discussed from a

different point of view. Essays on his main works are complemented

by thematic discussion of his views on the experience of women in

the eighteenth century, politics, imperialism, religion, and travel

as well as by chapters covering his life, conversation, letters,

and critical reception. Useful reference features include a

chronology and guide to further reading. The keynote to the volume

is the seamlessness of Johnson’s life and writing, and the

extraordinary humane intelligence he brought to all his activities.

Accessibly written by a distinguished group of international

scholars, this volume supplies a stimulating range of approaches,

making Johnson newly relevant for our time.
