Samuel Johnson: The Life of an Author

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Lipking, Lawrence I., PUBLISHER: Harvard University Press, He was a servong>anong>t to the public, a writer for hire. He was a hero, ong>anong> author adding to the glory of his nation. But cong>anong> a writer be both hack ong>anong>d hero? The career of Samuel Johnson, recounted here by Lawrence Lipking, proves that the two cong>anong> be one. ong>Anong>d it further proves, in its enduring interest for readers, that academic fashions today may be a bit hasty in pronouncing the "death of the author." A book about the life of ong>anong> author, about how ong>anong> author is made, not born, Lipking's "Samuel Johnson" is the story of the mong>anong> as he lived--ong>anong>d lives--in his work. Tracing Johnson's rocky climb from ong>anong>onymity to fame, in the course of which he came to stong>anong>d for both the greatness of English literature ong>anong>d the good sense of the common reader, the book shows how this life trong>anong>sformed the very nature of authorship. Beginning with the defiong>anong>t letter to Chesterfield that made Johnson a celebrity, "Samuel Johnson" offers fresh readings of all the writer's major works, viewed through the lens of two ongoing preoccupations: the urge to do great deeds--ong>anong>d the sense that bold expectations are doomed to disappointment. Johnson steers between the twin perils of ambition ong>anong>d despondency. Mounting a challenge to the emerging industry that glorified ong>anong>d capitalized on Shakespeare, he stresses instead the playwright's power to cure the illusions of everyday life. All Johnson's works reveal his extraordinary sympathy with ordinary people. In his groundbreaking "Dictionary," in his poems ong>anong>d essays, ong>anong>d in" The Lives of the English Poets," we see Johnson becoming the key figure in the culture of literacy that reaches from his day to our own.
