In Johnson's own day he was best known as an essayist, critic, and lexicographer. At the center of this collection are the periodical essays from the Rambler, Adventurer, and Idler. Together, these works--allied in their literary, social, and moral concerns--are the ones that continue to speak urgently to readers today.
