Here, Philip Smallwood examines the “mirrored minds” of Johnson and Shakespeare, while David Hopkins parses intersections of the general and particular in three key eighteenth-century figures. Aaron Hanlon draws parallels between instances of physical rambling and rhetorical strategies in Johnson’s \u003ci\u003eRambler\u003c\/i\u003e, while Cedric D. Reverand dissects the intertextual strands uniting Dryden and Pope. Contributors take up other topics significant to the field, including post-feminism, travel, and seismology. Whether discussing cultural exchange or textual reciprocities, each piece extends the theme, building on the trope of \u003ci\u003erelationship\u003c\/i\u003e to organize and express its findings. Rounding out this collection are tributes from Clingham’s former students and colleagues, including original poetry.\u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"Editor, author, de facto publisher, and dedicated teacher, Greg Clingham is remarkable among eighteenth-century scholars for his versatility and productivity. \u003ci\u003eA Clubbable Man\u003c\/i\u003e brings together a star-studded cast of Clingham's colleagues, students, and friends to celebrate a career of consequence in a suitably diverse, elegantly written, and original collection of essays.\" -- Robert DeMaria * editor of The Yale Edition of the Works of Samuel Johnson *\u003cbr\u003e\"This rich collection of work by leading scholars of Samuel Johnson and adjacent eighteenth-century conversations broadens and deepens our own conversations significantly.
