A Biographer at Work: Samuel Johnson's Notes for the "Life of Pope"The Annotations, taken as a whole, establish that Johnson's main source in writing this life, and in constructing his interpretation of Pope's life and character, was Pope's published letters in the texts available to him. The notes also highlight Johnson's hitherto unrecognized original and very important contributions to Pope biography, primarily by their omissions, the topics in which they do not anticipate the manuscript text."--BOOK JACKET. |
