In
1819,
William Hazlitt condemned Samuel Johnson's prose as 'a species
of rhyming' in which 'the close of the period follows as mechanically as the
oscillation of a pendulum, the sense is balanced with the sound.'Predictable,
formulaic, and unresponsive, Hazlitt's Johnson was a 'complete balance-master,'
incapable of latitude and compromise, a mere automaton who rebounded from
one position to its opposite extreme. Johnson, Hazlitt argued, 'never encourages
hope, but he counteracts it by fear, he never elicits a truth, but he suggests some
objection in answer to it.'
Samuel Johnson: The Arc of the Pendulum challenges Hazlitt
s
negative and
influential view. From the late eighteenth century onwards, to be 'Johnsonian'
has typically been made synonymous with firm resolution and trenchant
opinion, with polysyllabic excess and a style removed from the exigencies
and accidents of ordinary existence. And yet, as the new readings in this
volume suggest, Johnsons life and writings embody the critical and creative
play of ideas, a form of interaction with the world which is shaped by
instability, contradiction, and combat- Rather than being trapped within a
set of oppositions, Johnson emerges from this collection of essays as a writer
who engages imaginatively and productively with flux, dynamism, and
inconclusiveness.
Individual chapters present new perspectives on Johnson's work, life, and
reception, addressing questions of style, authority, language, lexicography,
and biography across the whole range of his writings from the early poetry
to the late prose.
