Abstract:

Here friends of Anthony W. Johnson honour him as a re-embodiment of the
polymathic artist-scholar figure once observable in Ben Jonson, on whom he has
done some of his most distinctive work. Part I of the book reflects his strong
grounding in English literature and culture of the seventeenth century, with
essays, not only on Ben Jonson, but also on university drama, on grammar
school drama, and on humanist literary taste. Part II responds to his
pioneering flights of culture-imagological time-travel to other periods, with
essays on riddles through the ages, on Matthew Arnold’s doubts about Homeric
pictorialism, and on anciently comic elements in George Gissing’s urban
fiction. Part III celebrates his importance, both as scholar and artist, for
the present day, with essays extending imagological analysis to the singer
Nick Drake, to the avant-garde Danish poet Morten Søkilde, and to Sean S.
Baker’s film "Tangerine", plus a climactic celebration of Johnson’s own
performances on solo violin and guitar as augmented by self-recording.
