520 _a"Deformities of Samuel Johnson, Selected from His Works" by James Thomson Callender is a critical pamphlet written in the late 18th century. This work serves as a satirical examination of Dr. Samuel Johnson, condemning his literary style and character through caustic commentary and selective quotations from his own writings. Callender aims to showcase the reputed flaws and shortcomings of Johnson, who was a towering figure in English literature. The opening of the pamphlet presents an introduction that establishes Callender's intent and the context of his criticism. It frames Johnson as a complex figure whose immense literary reputation contrasts sharply with Callender's perception of his moral and intellectual failures. The introduction offers a glimpse into Callender's disdain for Johnson’s perceived arrogance and literary pretensions. As he seeks to dissect Johnson's character and works, Callender sets the stage for a detailed critique filled with sharply worded observations, hinting at a mixture of personal grievance and a broader commentary on literary authority and reputation.
