Book excerpt: 'If a man is to write A Panegyrick, he may keep vices out of sight; but if he professes to write A Life, he must represent it really as it was.' In the last of his major writings, Samuel Johnson looked back over the previous two centuries of English Literature in order to describe the personalities as well as the achievements of the leading English poets. The major Lives - of Milton, Dryden, Swift, and Pope - are memorable cameos of the life of writing in which Johnson is as attentive to human frailty as to literary prowess. The shorter Lives preserve some of Johnson's most piercing, critical judgements. Unsentimental, opinionated, and quotable, The Lives of the Poets continues to influence the reputations of the writers concerned. It is one of the greatest works of English criticism, but also one of the most humanly diverting. This selection of the Lives of ten of the most important poets draws its text from Roger Lonsdale's authoritative complete edition.

THE Bookfellers having determined to publifh a Body of Englifh Poetry, I was perfuaded to promife them a Preface to the Works of each Author; an undertaking, as it was then prefented to my mind, not very extenfive or difficult. My purpofe was only to have allotted to every Poet an Advertifement, like thofe which we find in the French Mifcellanies, containing a few dates and a general character; but I have been led beyond my intention, I hope, by the honeft defire of giving ufe- ful pleafure. In this minute kind of Hiftory, the fucceffion of facts is not eafily difcovered; and I am not without fufpicion that fome of Dryden's works are placed in wrong yea'rs. I have followed Langbaine, as the beft authority for his plays; and if I mall hereafter obtain a more correct chronology, will publifh it; but I do not yec know that my account is erroneous. B z Dryden's Dryden's Remarks on Rymer have been fomewhere printed before. The former edition I have not feen. This was tranfcribed for the prefs from his own ma- nufcript. As this undertaking was occafional and unforefeen, I muft be fuppofed to have engaged in it with lefs jirovifion of materials than might have been accumulated by longer premeditation. Of the later writers at leaft I might, by attention and enquiry, have gleaned many particulars, which would have clivcr- fified and enlivened my Biography. Thefe omiffions, which it is now ufelefs to lament, have been often fupplied by the kindnefs of Mr. Steevens and others; and great affiftance has been given me by Mr. Spence's Collections, of which I confider the communication as. a favour worthy of pubjick acknowl...
