Review
'... a major contribution to Johnsonian studies sure to endure the test of time ... a methodological model that will doubtless influence future scholarship well beyond eighteenth-century or lexicographical studies ... surely a landmark study.' British Journal for Eighteenth-Century Studies
'After Reddick, there can be no return to any unexamined sense of the Dictionary's wholeness. At the same time, he makes Johnson's achievement appear, if anything, greater, a more deeply human monument built out of shreds and patches.' The Times Literary Supplement
'... a fascinating and wonderful piece of scholarly detective work ... The chapter that Reddick bases solely on his new discoveries ... is as good a single chapter as anyone has written in any book on Johnson of the last thirty years.' The Age of Johnson
'An important, exact, and fascinating book.' Bibliographical Society of America
'... a landmark study.' Eighteenth-Century Studies '... a fascinating and wonderful piece of scholarly detective work.' The Age of Johnson
Book Description

1st edition. "Reddick details the conception, composition, and writing of the Dictionary between the years 1746 and 1755, as well as the great revision of 1771-73. In the process, Reddick argues that the Dictionary does not reflect Johnson's final thoughts on a fixed language, but rather constitutes a text in flux, changed repeatedly throughout his lifetime, a reflection of Johnson's own troubled conviction that lexicography is a doomed and impossible, paradoxical endeavor." Pp.xiv/249, 6 black & white plates. Dark green cloth, dustwrapper has a removable clear protective wrap. VG/VG. Seller Inventory # 46913
