Author name and dates: Edward Young (1683-1765)
BKG Bio-tweet: Oxford law degree; poet; playwright; sought patronage; cleric; SJ: with all his defects, a man of genius and a poet (Lives)
Categories (list of works cited – preliminary) [BKG Note: Six Young cites in 1755 Dict. vol. 1, seven cites in 1755 Dict. vol. 2. About 29 Young cites were identified as added to 1773 Dict. vol. 1. Reddick in The Making of Johnson's Dictionary (p.121) indicates that 129 Young cites were added in 1773 Dict. vol. 2. A sample of these is provided below in bold italic. Reddick indicates (p.220) that these additions may be from the 1762 edition of Young's Works, however all headwords sampled also appear in the first volume of the 1741 and 1752 Works. Perhaps the Young volume was marked before 1755 but not used extensively because Young was still alive. The edition of Young's Works used by SJ is unknown.]
