Résumé du livre
In his study of Samuel Johnson, Lee (English, Kentucky Wesleyan College) looks past the public persona to discover the mentors who helped Johnson become an emblem of self-creation. Lee analyzes the nature of Johnson's intense connections in the context of scholarship devoted to mentoring. He offers new readings of Johnson's major works, seeing them as reflections of Johnson's development and his commitment to connection. He also finds Johnson himself to be one the great mentors in literary history. Annotation ©2005 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR.
