The Major Works by Samuel Johnson
This collection brings together a writer's most influential prose and verse—moral essays, literary criticism, biographical sketches of poets, lyric poetry, a philosophical tale, and pioneering lexicography—to display a powerful, eloquent style marked by wit, moral seriousness, and close observation of human nature; throughout it interrogates ambition, vanity, and the limits of sympathy while defending literary tradition and probing how language shapes thought and society.
