Title
Samuel Johnson's Rambler No. 11
Description
This is the first page of Samuel Johnson's periodical essay, The Rambler No. 11. In this essay, Johnson analyzes the social and personal implications of individuals lacking emotional control. There is a very theatrical leading letter that embodies the drama of Johnson's writing, as well as contextual information regarding the date of the essay. Samuel Johnson did write The Rambler letters anonymously, but they have since been attributed to him in the majority. This is an aged, yellowed piece of paper with text printed on it. It includes Johnson’s introduction of his paper on anger and society.
