About the book >.>.> No thoughtful reader of Samuel Johnson has ever doubted the truth of Boswell's remark that "the history of his mind as to religion is an important article." Johnson himself made no at-tempt to conceal the importance of religion for him nor the central place that it occupied in his life. Writing to Queeney Thrale just six months before he died, he exhorted her to "believe a man whose experience has been long, and who can have no wish to deceive you, and who now tells you that the highest honour, and most constant pleasure this life can afford, must be obtained by passing it with attention fixed upon Eternity."2 Johnson was a deeply religious man who accepted without question the exis-tence of God, who affirmed his faith in the principal truths of Christianity, who was an ardent Church-of-England man, and who sought throughout his life to render himself worthy of salvation.

Paperback. Condición: new. Paperback. Samuel Johnson was a deeply religious man and he came to depend on his Christian faith as the principal means by which to endure the pain of existence. He sought throughout his life to render himself worthy of salvation, but the difficulties which he ecperienced in trying to maintain a high degree of reigious discipline - as well as his doubts about God's ultimate concern for man and his fears of his own spiritual unworthiness - led him in to periods of madness and a perpetual dread of damnation. Charles Pierce examines the effect of Johnson's religious concerns upon the formation of his complex character, and on the great moral writing that began with The Vanity of Human Wishes and ended with Rasselas. He explores the paradox of a life which was dedicated to the Christian ideal and tormented by that same ideal. Previous works on Johnson's religious beliefs have been concerned with ascertaining whether what those beliefs were, and not with their effect. The main theme of this study is the importance of Johnson's beleifs in the formation of his character and their effect on the moral values expressed in his greatest writing and on the conduct of his life.It will be essential to anyone interested in the life and thought of one of the greatest English literary figures.Charles E.
