| Publisher's Note | |
| This is the first-ever attempt to present all the significant facts about Samuel Johnson in a single volume. The 650 alphabetically arranged entries cover every aspect of Johnson's life, career, and personality. The volume describes each of his works in detail, examining such matters as composition, publication, and reception. It gives up-to-date accounts of his attitude on key themes and concepts and explores his central ideas on literary, moral, political, social, and religious questions. It provides biographies of all persons with whom Johnson had any sort of real contact and gives a detailed picture of the Club and its members. This is a one-stop aid that will enable students and readers of Johnson to locate almost any fact about him quickly and easily. | |
| Industry reviews | |
| Rogers, a prolific scholar, particularly on topics of Johnson's era, has gathered here for the first time "all the essential facts" about Sam Johnson in one reference volume. Her work includes facts, interpretation, opinions, and such Johnson quips as "I am willing to love all mankind, except an American." There is detailed information on subjects like Johnson's health and the mutual dislike between Johnson and David Hume. The book abounds with bibliographic and cross references and has an excellent index. Even though Johnson is not studied as much as he once was, this is an essential purchase for larger libraries supporting advanced English literature programs. Other library programs should also consider spending on this scholarly, entertaining, and browsable book. Peter A. Dollard, Alma Coll. Lib., Mich. Breitman | |
