Jonathan Clark presents here a strikingly different Johnson from the usual apolitical, pragmatic and eccentric figure of the standard accounts.Clark, J. C. D. is the author of 'Samuel Johnson Literature, Religion and English Cultural Politics from the Restoration to Romanticism' with ISBN 9780521473040 and ISBN 0521473047.
