London, A Poem: In Imitation Of The Third Satire Of Juvenal is a work of poetry written by Samuel Johnson and first published in 1750. The poem is an imitation of the third satire of Juvenal, a Roman poet known for his satirical works. In the poem, Johnson paints a vivid and scathing portrait of London society in the mid-18th century, highlighting the corruption, vice, and moral decay that he saw as rampant in the city. He critiques various aspects of London life, including politics, commerce, fashion, and entertainment, and laments the loss of traditional values and virtues. The poem is notable for its powerful language, vivid imagery, and biting satire, and is considered one of Johnson's most important works. It provides a fascinating glimpse into the social and cultural landscape of London in the 18th century, and remains a powerful commentary on the human condition.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
