     “This book analyses the structure and function of each literary allusion identified in A Journey to the Western Islands of Scotland (1775). Johnson’s familiarity with the classics and other literatures is thereby manifested in a variety of ways, with a powerful personal voice and, no less important, looking for reader involvement. Allusion, as contended in this monograph, is indeed an integral part of the formal artistry and intellectual depth of the Journey, thus contributing to making Johnson’s Scottish travelogue what it is — a major exponent of Travel Literature.” Not seen.

     [Author’s abstract:] The handwritten note of the post-mortem examination of Dr Samuel Johnson resides in the library of the Royal College of Physicians of London. Headed “asthma” it suggests that he had only one functioning kidney, probably had hypertension, left ventricular hypertrophy and congestive heart failure. This article describes an imaginary presentation by Dr James Wilson, who did the autopsy, and alludes to Johnson’s life, and medical history, including impaired vision and hearing, scrofula, abnormal limb movement, gout, abdominal cramps, melancholia and episodes of “asthma” which were, more than likely to have been episodes of left ventricular failure. Johnson’s personality as a demanding patient who took things into his own hands are described based upon reports from his physicians. Not seen.

      “In The Rambler, Johnson attempts to use the literary essay-periodical, which — unlike the essay tout court — was traditionally the vehicle of wit, primarily as a means of moral instruction. . . . The most important features of Johnson’s publication all shed light on Johnson’s moralism: The Rambler’s uniformity of tone; its adoption of a persona who is a representative figure, rather than an eccentric individual; its focus on the universals of human behavior rather than current affairs or the fashions and follies beloved of Richard Steele; together with its didactic tone.”

      “This essay reflects on the inherently disconcerting labour of producing a literary anthology. It does so by way of the Enlightenment view of bewilderment as a legitimate epistemological position. In that view, propounded by figures as various as Bernard Mandeville, Daniel Defoe, Samuel Johnson, and Sarah Fielding, bewilderment stands distinct from such possible cognates as confusion or nescience and arises from the experience of immersion in a proliferation of media forms. Such an experience obviously links the print-saturated eighteenth century to our own digitizing times; anthologies are autoimmune responses to media ecologies of this nature. Enlightenment conceptualizations of bewilderment, thus, both articulate and potentially resolve the frustrations entailed in an anthology’s making.”

      [Author’s abstract:] In his biographical preface on Pope, Samuel Johnson attempts to distinguish between “man” and “writer”; but the distinction was one that Pope had preemptively blurred, in both what and how he published. A conflict thus arises in the two writers’ portrayals of author vis-à-vis work, art vis-à-vis life. Ultimately, the nature of this conflict is historically determined: Johnson’s biography of Pope points toward the origins of “the author” not just as legal and economic entity, but as Cultural Icon, marking a turning-point in the history not just of “the author,” but of “the life of the author.”

      “Early in A Journey to the Western Islands of Scotland (1775) Johnson describes crossing the Hardmuir, the putative site of Macbeth’s first meeting with the weird sisters. For Johnson, this is Macbeth not as a text to be read or a play to be seen but as an environment, rich in resonances, to be inhabited and travelled. The longer first part of this essay argues that Johnson’s marking of this landscape as ‘classic ground’ is freighted with particular cultural values and judgments. On the one hand, through Shakespeare Johnson tethers himself to the familiar–to culture and use-value–at the very moment he feels civilization suddenly to recede from view. Macbeth marks for Johnson a boundary that is at once topographical, historical, and political. On the other hand, Johnson’s interest in Macbeth is soldered to his enduring fascination with the supernatural, and the play thereby facilitates his openness both to affective forms of engagement and to the idea of mystery; it fosters his willingness to accommodate the non-rational, to turn from the protocols of proof to those of belief. The second part of this essay then considers Boswell’s descriptions of Johnson’s encounter with the topography of Macbeth in Journal of a Tour of the Hebrides (1785), which privilege acts of speaking rather than feeling or imagining, and in repeatedly drawing attention to Johnson’s recitation of Shakespearean verse Boswell both transforms Johnson into a Shakespearean performer and presses Macbeth into service in order to monumentalize Johnson as an archetypal Englishman.”

      A painstaking reconstruction of Johnson’s deathbed scene, arguing (against most biographers) that “John Desmoulins, not his mother, was on hand with Frank Barber when Miss Morris came in for Johnson’s blessing.” He then speculations on the reasons for Boswell’s error, suggesting that “His unfamiliarity with John, and the earlier frequency with which he had written “Mrs.’ Desmoulins, may explain a lapsus calami.” He concludes, “It is extraordinary that the general field of Johnsonian scholarship should have overlooked the sheer improbability . . . of having a woman . . . in the grim intimacy of the dying Johnson’s chamber.”

      Wildermuth works “in the wake of postmodernism, to contextualize Johnson’s double focus on order and disorder, on universal global norms and localized deviance — at least with particular regard to his literary criticism and lexicography, wherein we find his most lucid discussion of an uncertainty principle informing his epistemology and aesthetics. Within the context of eighteenth-century and postmodern conceptions of complex dynamic systems, we can see that Johnson is neither a dogmatist nor a nihilist, but is instead an early modern chaologist, a student of chaos whose response to the perturbations introduced by science and philosophy in the eighteenth century lead him to describe in his aesthetics a complex mimetic system tracing emergent structures in the field of literary criticism implicated by the interplay between classical tradition and the new empirical skepticism.”
