In one of the more sudden shifts of perspective, and hotly contested controversies of recent historical and literary scholarship, the view of Johnson has been fundamentally changed. This volume offers the richest account of what has been achieved, and points to the new directions in which scholarship is developing. It is essential reading for all concerned with 18th-century studies.

Industry Reviews

"This richly suggestive essay will send many readers back to the work to discover examples of Johnson's oscillation..." - The Times Literary Supplement (UK)
