Synopsis
This book is the first complete transcription of hitherto unpublished notes by Johnson for the 'Life of Pope' (British Library Add. MS. 5994). Kirkley provides Johnson scholars with a scrupulous study of Johnson's editing system as well as a critical study of how these notes mediate the processes of reading and composing, providing critical insight into Johnson's modes of textual production.
