  Article:   NEOCLASSICISM AND ORIENTALISM. THE CASE OF DR. SAMUEL JOHNSON.

Authors:  MIHAELA MUDURE.
 
       
         
  Abstract:  This paper analyzes the only significant fictional text produced by dr. Samuel Johnson, the very honourable figure of eighteenth-century British literary, so honourable that everybody pays him some lip service but few continue to actually read him. This essay is a re-reading of Johnson’s Oriental tale about Rasselas, the prince of Abissinia as an encounter of Neo-classicism and Orientalism.
