Thesis (Ph.D.)--Boston University / More attention is now being paid Samuel Johnson than at any time since the years immediately following his death. The object of this dissertation is to clarify his reputation as man and as writer through systematizaton of the majority of the almost two thousand studies written since 1887, the year that George Birkbeck Hill published his edition of Boswell's Life. The vitality of Johnson's reputation can be seen in many ways. The latter half of the eighteenth century has been called "The Age of Johnson." Critics have traditionally considered him a literary dictator, although it is now known that England has never had a man who could claim such absolute power over her letters. Homage has been paid him through the founding of clubs, the making of pilgrimages to sites associated with him, and the collecting of souvenirs. He has been compared and contrasted with diverse figures from history and fiction. Apocryphal stories have been told about him, and he has often been the subject of imaginary conversations, plays, and novels. Johnson has been made symbolic of the eighteenth century by many who think of the period as a time of peace and contentment. [TRUNCATED]

Thesis (Ph.D.)--Boston University. / Samuel Daniel has never been the subject of a thorough reputation study. I have, therefore, examined the body of critical opinion directed to Daniel's works from his own day to the present. I have drawn conclusions about his over-all reputation and the reputation of the individual works. In addition, I have drawn relevant conclusions concerning the critics themselves, particularly with respect to the bases of their literary judgment. Daniel's literary reputation fluctuates over the centuries. He was highly regarded by nearly all of his contemporaries, but his reputation waned during the seventeenth century until he became almost totally neglected in the eighteenth. Certain Romantic poets expressed more admiration for Daniel than had been expressed for two centuries. His reputation maintained a fairly steady, though unexciting, level throughout the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. After 1920 Daniel gradually became the object of more intensive critical study. His reputation today is higher than at any time since his death and rests upon a more solid basis than ever before.
