Letter to Chesterfield Lettera a Chesterfield Lettre à Chesterfield
rdfs:comment
The Letter to Chesterfield (February 1755) was Samuel Johnson's response to what some believed to be Lord Chesterfield's opportunistic endorsement of his A Dictionary of the English Language. Although Chesterfield was patron of the Proposal for the Dictionary, he made no moves to further the progress of the Dictionary until seven years after his original investment into the project. Suddenly, Chesterfield wrote two "puff" pieces to promote the Dictionary, which prompted Johnson to write a letter accusing Chesterfield of only providing help when it was least needed. La Lettera a Chesterfield (febbraio 1755) è stata la risposta di Samuel Johnson a quella che alcuni ritennero essere l'opportunistica approvazione di A Dictionary of the English Language da parte di Lord Chesterfield. Anche se Chesterfield appoggiò la Proposta per il Dizionario inviatagli da Johnson, non fece alcunché per favorire la riuscita del Dizionario fino a sette anni dopo il suo iniziale interessamento nel progetto. Improvvisamente, Chesterfield scrisse due "adulatori" articoli a sostegno del Dizionario. Johnson si vide costretto a scrivere una lettera accusando Chesterfield di fornire aiuto quando ormai non era più necessario. La Lettre à Chesterfield (février 1755) fut la réponse de Samuel Johnson à ce que certains croyaient être un appui opportuniste de Lord Chesterfield au Dictionary of the English Language. Bien que Chesterfield eût patronné le Dictionnaire au moment où on l'avait proposé, il ne fit rien pour aider à son avancement et attendit sept ans après s'être investi dans le commencement du projet. Subitement, il écrivit deux morceaux remplis d'éloges pour promouvoir le Dictionnaire, ce qui incita Johnson à lui écrire une lettre où il lui reprochait de ne lui apporter de l'aide que quand il n'y en avait pratiquement plus besoin.

La Lettre à Chesterfield (février 1755) fut la réponse de Samuel Johnson à ce que certains croyaient être un appui opportuniste de Lord Chesterfield au Dictionary of the English Language. Bien que Chesterfield eût patronné le Dictionnaire au moment où on l'avait proposé, il ne fit rien pour aider à son avancement et attendit sept ans après s'être investi dans le commencement du projet. Subitement, il écrivit deux morceaux remplis d'éloges pour promouvoir le Dictionnaire, ce qui incita Johnson à lui écrire une lettre où il lui reprochait de ne lui apporter de l'aide que quand il n'y en avait pratiquement plus besoin. Certains affirment que cette lettre provoqua un petit scandale dans le monde littéraire de l'époque quand Johnson l'eut rendue publique et elle a fait depuis lors l'objet de commentaires critiques ; on y a vu comme une « déclaration d'indépendance de la littérature ». La réaction de Chesterfield fut pourtant tout à fait différente et, dès la première lecture, il loua l'intelligence de Johnson et son art d'écrire. Johnson n'arriva pas à croire que Chesterfield eût pu réagir favorablement à cette lettre et ce ne fut pas avant plusieurs années que les deux hommes finirent par se réconcilier. La Lettera a Chesterfield (febbraio 1755) è stata la risposta di Samuel Johnson a quella che alcuni ritennero essere l'opportunistica approvazione di A Dictionary of the English Language da parte di Lord Chesterfield. Anche se Chesterfield appoggiò la Proposta per il Dizionario inviatagli da Johnson, non fece alcunché per favorire la riuscita del Dizionario fino a sette anni dopo il suo iniziale interessamento nel progetto. Improvvisamente, Chesterfield scrisse due "adulatori" articoli a sostegno del Dizionario. Johnson si vide costretto a scrivere una lettera accusando Chesterfield di fornire aiuto quando ormai non era più necessario. Alcuni sostengono che la lettera suscitò parecchio clamore nel mondo letterario dell'epoca quando Johnson la rese pubblica e sin da allora è stata oggetto di commenti critici: venne descritta come la "dichiarazione di indipendenza" della letteratura.Tuttavia, la reazione di Chesterfield alla lettera fu inaspettata: elogiò l'ingegno di Johnson e la sua capacità di scrittore dopo averla letta per la prima volta. Johnson non avrebbe mai creduto che Chesterfield avesse reagito favorevolmente al contenuto della lettera; trascorsero anzi alcuni anni, prima che Chesterfield e Johnson si riconciliassero. The Letter to Chesterfield (February 1755) was Samuel Johnson's response to what some believed to be Lord Chesterfield's opportunistic endorsement of his A Dictionary of the English Language. Although Chesterfield was patron of the Proposal for the Dictionary, he made no moves to further the progress of the Dictionary until seven years after his original investment into the project. Suddenly, Chesterfield wrote two "puff" pieces to promote the Dictionary, which prompted Johnson to write a letter accusing Chesterfield of only providing help when it was least needed. Some claim that the letter caused a minor furore in the contemporary literary world when Johnson made it public and it has been the subject of critical comment ever since; it has been described as literature's "declaration of independence".However, Chesterfield's reaction to the letter was quite different, and he praised Johnson's intellect and ability to write after reading it for the first time. Johnson could not believe that Chesterfield would ever react favourably towards the letter, and it was not until years later that Chesterfield and Johnson would finally reconcile.
