March 05, 2009: Bucknell University to Celebrate Samuel Johnson
"'Johnson is one of the great writers of 18th-century England,' said Greg Clingham, professor of English at Bucknell and director of the Bucknell University Press."
"'He is also, along with Montaigne, Shakespeare, Rousseau, Goethe, Tolstoy and Borges, one of a handful of humanists in the European tradition whose writings in a variety of genres continue to challenge and extend our philosophical, moral and literary experiences,' he said."
