An ample and varied section of accessible essays by Samuel Johnson This selection of the cream of the writing from volumes II to V of the Yale Edition of the Works of Samuel Johnson fills the largest remaining gap in easily available eighteenth-century texts for the student and general reader. The edition provides in popular form the amplest selection available of Johnson’s essays, ranging from his great moral pieces to the valuable essays on literary criticisms. The text is that of the authoritative Yale Edition and includes full annotation. An introduction by W. J. Bate provides a concise summary of the publication history of the essays and probes in detail the moral vision that pervades most of them.

Essential writings on the English language—its history, structure, and cultural importance—by one of its most adroit practitioners This volume of the Yale Edition of the Works of Samuel Johnson collects the writer’s most important statements on the English language. It includes fully annotated editions of Johnson’s main writings on the history, structure, and cultural importance of English, as well as his reflections on lexicography. These texts represent Johnson’s thinking as he undertook and completed the major work of his life, the colossal Dictionary of the English Language. By setting Johnson’s writings on the English language in historical context, the editors provide the fullest possible account of their composition. Among the works presented in the volume are Johnson’s Plan of a Dictionary of the English Language andthe Preface to the Dictionary,both of which are counted among his finest works of prose.
