Fleeman on the completion of his life's principal endeavour,
a comprehensive bibliography of Samuel Johnson. Galvanized
by two of David's ardent admirers, Professor Daisuke
Nagashima and Professor Howard D. Weinbrot, we as co-editors
found ourselves casting a net from—if not China to
Peru—then Oxford to Otago. That the field of potential
contributors proved so diverse and so distinguished is one
measure of David's achievement. Throughout his career, he
devoted himself selflessly to the work of others; indeed,
several of the articles included in this volume bear his
direct imprint. All exemplify one of his most cherished
ideals—that of scholarly community. For David, no
pains were excessive when it came to teaching, learning, and
collaborating. As a consequence, the epigraph to this
collection might well be taken (with the change of a single
pronoun) from King Alfred's preface to his version of
Gregory's Cura Pastoralis: "Her mon
maeg giet gesion hiora swaeth." | | | Similar Items: | Find |
