    [Author's abstract:] The handwritten note of the post-mortem examination of Dr Samuel Johnson resides in the library of the Royal College of Physicians of London. Headed "asthma" it suggests that he had only one functioning kidney, probably had hypertension, left ventricular hypertrophy and congestive heart failure. This article describes an imaginary presentation by Dr James Wilson, who did the autopsy, and alludes to Johnson's life, and medical history, including impaired vision and hearing, scrofula, abnormal limb movement, gout, abdominal cramps, melancholia and episodes of "asthma" which were, more than likely to have been episodes of left ventricular failure. Johnson's personality as a demanding patient who took things into his own hands are described based upon reports from his physicians. Not seen.

    "In The Rambler, Johnson attempts to use the literary essay-periodical, which — unlike the essay tout court — was traditionally the vehicle of wit, primarily as a means of moral instruction. . . . The most important features of Johnson's publication all shed light on Johnson's moralism: The Rambler's uniformity of tone; its adoption of a persona who is a representative figure, rather than an eccentric individual; its focus on the universals of human behavior rather than current affairs or the fashions and follies beloved of Richard Steele; together with its didactic tone."

    [Author's abstract:] In his biographical preface on Pope, Samuel Johnson attempts to distinguish between "man" and "writer"; but the distinction was one that Pope had preemptively blurred, in both what and how he published. A conflict thus arises in the two writers' portrayals of author vis-à-vis work, art vis-à-vis life. Ultimately, the nature of this conflict is historically determined: Johnson's biography of Pope points toward the origins of "the author" not just as legal and economic entity, but as Cultural Icon, marking a turning-point in the history not just of "the author," but of "the life of the author."
