Kritik
oThomas Reinert has succeededNwhile giving his many predecessors their dueNboth in saying entirely new things about Samuel Johnson and also in addressing in an original and stimulating way the question of what it is that changes in eighteenth-century BritainNwhat it is that gives that culture its particular Omodernity.OONDeidre Lynch, State University of New York at Buffalo
