It also encompasses his poetry, such as 'London' and 'The Vanity of Human Wishes,' his moral fable 'Rasselas,' and his groundbreaking biographical work, 'Lives of the Most Eminent English Poets.' Each entry offers valuable insight into the publication history, various editions, and the reception of Johnson’s writings during and after his lifetime.This scholarly resource is indispensable for researchers, bibliophiles, and students of 18th-century British literature.
