Sinopsis
Excerpt from Selections From the Works of Samuel Johnson: With an Introduction and Notes
Rasselas is unrepresented because it has been well edited in this Series by Professor Emerson. The selec tions are entire, except the Life of Addison, from which the long quotation of Bennis's tedious remarks on Cato has been in large part omitted. No biographical sketch of Johnson beyond a chronological outline has seemed necessary. If a shorter account than Boswell's is desired, it may be found in Sir Leslie Stephen's Life of Johnson (english Men of Letters), or, shorter still, in his article in the Dictionary of National Biography. Macaulay may be read with interest, but not for Johnson's sake.

Excerpt from Selections From the Works of Samuel Johnson: With an Introduction and Notes
One day at Mrs. Thrale's, Johnson remarked, in an 'indulgent humor': 'I think there is no impropriety in a man's publishing as much as he chooses of any author, if he does not put the rest out of the way.' His words lend one perhaps the best excuse for a book of this kind. It is in the hope of putting the rest in the way that these selections have been gathered and edited; ind enough will have been done, if they should prove the means of correcting some error of vision, or of helping to find life in that which has seemed dead.
The introduction may appear at times too emphatic and opinionated, or too condensed and barren of illustration. But opinion often creates opinion in others, if only by reaction; and such passages as those on Johnson's style or his theory of criticism, or on the poetry of his time, may suggest to teachers various useful and agreeable studies in quest of illustration and evidence.
Rasselas is unrepresented because it has been well edited in this series by Professor Emerson. The selections are entire, except the Life of Addison, from which the long quotation of Dennis's tedious remarks on Cato has been in large part omitted. No biographical sketch of Johnson beyond a chronological outline has seemed necessary. If a shorter account than Boswell's is desired, it may be found in Sir Leslie Stephen's Life of Johnson (English Men of Letters), or, shorter still, in his article in the Dictionary of National Biography. Macaulay may be read with interest, but not for Johnson's sake.

Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book is a collection of writings by one of the most influential literary figures of the 18th century. As a literary critic, poet, essayist, lexicographer, narrator, biographer, and letter writer, the author's genius was expressed with as much clarity, originality, and power as it was in his conversations, as recorded by his devoted friend, James Boswell. Throughout his body of work, the author's focus was on biography, literature, and the philosophy of life, with an emphasis on the importance of understanding human life through careful observation and study, both through personal experience and historical accounts. His writings stand as a testament to the enduring significance of humanist thought and the power of language to illuminate the human condition. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Nº de ref. del artículo: 9781331060123_0
