Synopsis
The British Essayists: The Rambler by Samuel Johnson. The Rambler is a landmark 18th-century series of moral and literary essays by Johnson, issued weekly in London from 1750 to 1752. The collection investigates how individuals ought to think and act—focusing on virtue, memory, friendship, truth, secrecy, and the duties of a rational life. Johnson uses a brisk, lucid style to examine topics such as the dangers of pride, the value of moderation, the discipline of retirement, and the proper constraints of criticism. The essays blend philosophical reflection with practical maxims, often drawing on classical authorities and contemporary social life in London. The work also includes prefatory material and biographical/historical context that illuminate Johnson’s life and the origins of the Rambler. Published as part of The British Essayists: The Rambler, it has profoundly influenced later English prose, shaping moral essay writing and criticism of literature.
