Description
A desirable two-volume Yale University Press set of Samuel Johnson’s Johnson on Shakespeare, offered here as Volumes 7 and 8 together. This is an appealing scholarly pair for collectors of literary criticism, Shakespeare studies, and serious Johnson material, especially with both original dust jackets present and the books coming from a private collection rather than an ex-library source.
Samuel Johnson remains one of the most important literary figures of the 18th century, and his writing on Shakespeare has had lasting influence on how Shakespeare’s plays were read, edited, and taught. The Yale edition is a respected academic series, giving this pair both historical weight and long-term usefulness.
* Complete two-volume Johnson on Shakespeare unit from the Yale edition
* Strong subject matter with lasting appeal to Shakespeare and Samuel Johnson collectors
* Original 1975 hardcover printings with original dust jackets
* Private-owner copies, not ex-library
* Attractive research and display value for collectors, scholars, and gift buyers
* Scarcer and more desirable as a matching pair than as separated volumes
* Dust jackets show some shelf wear and minor chipping, while the set still presents well overall
