A study of a selected area of nineteenth-century literature.

The eighteenth century in Britain is a hard period to characterise.  Europe was still living with the aftershocks of the renaissance and reformation, the cultural transformations that ended the very different medieval world, and was on the verge of the industrial revolution, when most of Europe became recognisably modern.  Negotiating this boundary in their lives and writings are the two contrasting figures of the English literary titan and powerful representative of the tradition, Samuel Johnson, and his biographer and much younger friend, the proto-romantic Scot, James Boswell.  The London they inhabited was Europe’s greatest metropolis, and alive with booksellers and coffee shops, catering for an unprecedented demand for knowledge, literature, and news.  These few volumes and two writers will introduce students to fascinating and important works across a range of genres, published 1735-91, including poetry, criticism, lexicography, biography, travel, fiction, journalism, letters, political writing, periodical essays, and private journals.
