Synopsis

A collection of the prefaces, proposals, dedications, appeals, and other works that Samuel Johnson wrote for friends and acquaintances

The English critic, biographer, and poet Samuel Johnson was among the most influential figures of the eighteenth century. This volume, the twentieth of the Yale Edition of the Works of Samuel Johnson, presents the author's occasional writings, including prefaces, proposals, dedications, introductions, book reviews, public letters, appeals, and school exercises. Notably, it includes the letters and addresses that Johnson wrote for the convicted clergyman William Dodd. Edited by O. M. Brack, Jr., and Robert DeMaria, Jr., this volume brings a treasure trove of Johnson's lesser-known writings to a contemporary audience.
