But in Johnson's own day, he was best known as an essayist, critic, and lexicographer. At the center of this collection are the periodical essays from the Rambler, Adventurer, and Idler. Together, these works - allied in their literary, social, and moral concerns - are the ones that continue to speak urgently to readers today. 606 $aLITERARY CRITICISM / European / English, Irish, Scottish, Welsh$2bisacsh 615 7$aLITERARY CRITICISM / European / English, Irish, Scottish, Welsh. 676 $a828/.609 686 $aHK 2411$2rvk 700 $aJohnson$b Samuel$f1709-1784.$0325263 701 $aMartin$b Peter$f1940-$01647518 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910814030403321 996 $aSelected writings$93995116 997 $aUNINA
