Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Dr. Johnson Fanny Burney: Being the Johnsonian Passages From the Works of Mme; D´arblay This book represents the first complete collection of the Johnsonian material in the works of Miss Burney. It is remarkable that no such volume has appeared before; for, apart from Boswell, there is no account of Samuel Johnson more lifelike and picturesque than Miss Burney´s. Yet, although practically all the other Johnsonian material has been edited with scrupulous care, Miss Burney´s account has been allowed to remain scattered through the pages of two voluminous diaries and hidden in the now-forgotten Memoirs of Doctor Burney. I have included in this work all the reminiscences of Johnson in Miss Burney´s various works, with the exception of repetitions and of a few passages in which his name is only casually mentioned - passages in which he does not actually appear at all. The present extracts are, therefore, within the limits of their subject, not a volume of selections, in the strict sense of that term; they form, rather, a complete treatise. In my endeavor after completeness, I have even transcended the avowed subject and included also some passages dealing with such intimate friends of Johnson as Boswell and Reynolds.
