Summary:

This bibliography by the distinguished Johnson scholar, the late J. D. Fleeman, records Johnson's literary output in chronological order and traces the development of his career and reputation as a professional writer.

The bibliography also charts the course of Johnson's posthumous literary reputation with lists of new editions up to 1984, the bicentenary of his death.
