| book description |

For more than twenty years, The Age of Johnson has aspired to present to a wide readership a body of influential Johnsonian scholarship “in the broadest sense,” as founder Paul J. Korshin put it. In keeping with this sentiment, volume 25 contains cant-free scholarly articles and essays written by both leaders in the field and emerging scholars, among them a London barrister and a medical school professor. Featuring lively and penetrating work on Johnson’s medical conditions, his edition of Shakespeare, his books in the Hyde Collection at Harvard, and his relation to American writers, as well as fresh work on Boswell’s travel writing and his curious afterlife in mid-twentieth-century Chicago, volume 25 makes a substantial contribution to our understanding of Johnson and his world. Also included are learned and stimulating book reviews on the state of English studies, on Edmund Burke, on Jane Austen, and more. Published by Bucknell University Press. Distributed worldwide by Rutgers University Press. ISSN 0884-5816
