Samuel Johnson And Moral Discipline

Provides a reading of Johnson that emphasizes his moral discourse. After its publication, Alkon's book became the standard reading of Johnson's essays, contrasting them with the moral ideas Johnson discussed in his sermons, as moral writings, and one of the first books to explore the essayist's focus on moral thinking as central to his writing.
