Abstract:

The essays collected in this volume engage in a conversation among
lexicography, the culture of the book, and the canonization and commemoration
of English literary figures and their works in the long eighteenth century.
The source of inspiration for each piece is Allen Reddick’s scholarship on
Samuel Johnson (1709-1784), the great English lexicographer whose
<i>Dictionary</i> (1755) included thousands upon thousands of illustrative
quotations from the “best” authors, and, more recently, on Thomas Hollis
(1720-1774), the much less well-known bibliophile who sent gifts of books by a
pantheon of Whig authors to individuals and libraries in Britain, Protestant
bastions in continental Europe, and America. Between the covers of <i>Words,
Books, Images</i> readers will encounter canonical English authors of prose
and poetry—Bacon, Milton, Defoe, Dryden, Pope, Richardson, Swift, Byron, Mary
Shelley, and Edward Lear. But they will also become acquainted with the agents
of their canonization and commemoration—the printers and publishers of Grub
Street, the biographer John Aubrey, the lexicographer and biographer Johnson,
the bibliophile Hollis, and the portrait painter Reynolds. No less crucially,
they will meet fellow readers of then and now—women and men who peruse, poach,
snip, and savour a book’s every word and image.
