Johnson Tercentenary Events

2009 is the tercentenary of the birth of Samuel Johnson, one of the great writers of eighteenth-century England whose writings in a variety of genres continue to challenge and extend our philosophical, moral and literary experiences.

Johnson Tercentenary Events are scheduled around the world.

Bucknell's Charles H. Watt's Humanities Institute sponsored a celebratory event: Johnson at Bucknell, A Tercentenary Celebration on March 23-24, 2009.
