Always recognized as a major contribution to English biography and criticism, it is also one of Johnson's most readable and eloquent achievements. This is the first scholarly edition since 1905 and includes a full introduction and critical apparatus. This is volume four of four. - ;Johnson himself wrote in 1782: 'I know not that I have written any thing more generally commended than the Lives of the Poets'.
