Written by Thomas Seccombe, the book covers the years from Johnson's arrival in London to his death in 1784, and the subsequent years of literary and intellectual activity that followed.The book provides a detailed overview of the political, economic, and cultural landscape of the time, and examines the key figures and movements that shaped the Age of Johnson. It covers topics such as the rise of the novel, the emergence of the literary marketplace, the development of print culture, and the impact of the French Revolution on English society.Seccombe explores the lives and works of Johnson and his contemporaries, including Oliver Goldsmith, David Garrick, and Edmund Burke, and analyzes their contributions to literature, politics, and society. He also examines the role of women in the literary and cultural world of the time, and the impact of the Enlightenment on English thought and culture.Overall, The Age of Johnson: 1748-1798 is a comprehensive and engaging account of a pivotal period in English history, providing readers with a deeper understanding of the social, cultural, and intellectual developments that shaped the modern world.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
