{ "item_title" : "The Works of Samuel Johnson, Vol 10", "item_author" : [" Samuel Johnson", "Donald J. Greene "], "item_description" : "Public and private morality as focus in writings of Samuel Johnson Given Samuel Johnson's lifelong concern with problems of human morality, it is not surprising--in an age when such writers as Defoe, Swift, Pope, Goldsmith, and Burke were highly politically conscious--to find Johnson frequently turning to matters of both public and private morality. Donald J. Greene presents a collection of Johnson's writings with a political emphasis: his early anti-Walpolian pamphlets Marmor Norfolciense and A Complete Vindication of the Licensers of the Stage, and various journalistic squibs; an abridgment of the debate on the offer of the Crown to Oliver Cromwell; the articles on the Seven Years' War and related matters, such as the notorious trial and execution of Admiral Byng; and the four pamphlets of the 1770s--The False Alarm, Thoughts on . . . Falkland's Islands, The Patriot, and Taxation No Tyranny. An introduction addresses Johnson's politics, and full annotation provides historical context.", "item_img_path" : "https://covers4.booksamillion.com/covers/bam/0/30/001/593/0300015933_b.jpg", "price_data" : { "retail_price" : "125.00", "online_price" : "125.00", "our_price" : "125.00", "club_price" : "125.00", "savings_pct" : "0", "savings_amt" : "0.00", "club_savings_pct" : "0", "club_savings_amt" : "0.00", "discount_pct" : "10", "store_price" : "" } }
