Book Information
This excellent anthology contains generous selections from each period and includes London, The Life of Savage, The Vanity of Human Wishes , extracts from the English Dictionary, Preface to Shakespeare and Lives of the Poets .
Throughout, the editor has been concerned that his choice should illustrate the riches and brilliance of Johnson's literary personality, as well as allow Johnson's less well- known writings, such as his early journalism, his letters and his prayers, a proper place.
Johnson was a writer of vigour, power, passion and profundity, and this selection reveals all these fascinating aspects of one of our greatest men of letters.
