“The prose [in Age of Johnson] aims for uncluttered elegance (no jargon, nothing congested or obscure); the erudition can be awesome. Produced in a large format hardback with wide margins, The Age of Johnson is a magisterial affair from AMS Press. . . . It has become, deservedly, the leading journal for Johnsonian studies. . . . For anyone with even a moderate interest in Johnson and his times there is absorbing matter here.”

—Norma Clarke, Times Literary Supplement

“The Age of Johnson continues to be a major publishing event in Johnson and related studies. . . .”

Year’s Work in English Studies, on volume 18

“Age of Johnson remains the gold standard in long-eighteenth-century literary studies, due to its dedication to the sort of soundness that eschews jargon and trendiness, the notable mixture among its contributors of titans in their fields and new and newish scholars making their marks, its generously expansive book reviews (that can range from about four pages to fifty, but tend to average six or seven), and the emphasis in a great many of its articles on the historical and political contexts of the works and authors studied.

—David Nunnery, ECCB, on volume 18
