Letters of Samuel Johnson: Volume Iii: 1777-1781

Zusatztext 'three splendid volumes ... All this material is clearly indispensable for Johnson scholars. Much more importantly though, any reader of the sequence of these letters will soon gain a growing intimacy with Johnson the man. Professor Redford has put not only the Johnsonian specialist but any reader with an interest in Johnson very much in his debt. It is difficult finally to avoid superlatives about the production quality of these volumes, which are beautifully typeset on excellent paper and (rare praise indeed) most reasonably priced.'Tom Woodman, University of Reading, British Journal for Eighteenth Century Studies, Vol. 17, Part 1, Spring 1994 Zusammenfassung This edition offers numerous letters transcribed for the first time from the original documents - a statistic of special importance in the case of Johnson's letters to Hester Thrale! many of which have only been known in expurgated form. This volume contains letters written in the years 1777-1781.
