Johnson created two important works while working on the dictionary: Irene (1749) and The Vanity of Human Wishes (1751). (1749). The former is a heroic tragedy, and the latter is a drama and satire that is still widely read today. T.S. Eliot saw Vanity Johnson as a stepping stone to the pantheon of great poets. He wrote that it was "a remarkable book by an even more remarkable man." In addition to these three works, there are several other poems by Johnson that were published after his death. These include Rambler Nos. 70-71 (1750), Epistles of Samuel Johnson to His Friend Richard Savage (1744), and The Lives of the Poets (1779-84). Vanity of Human Wishes is a landmark work in English literature. It is the first full-length dramatic comedy written in the English language. The play's portrayal of social hypocrisy and vanity has led many critics to label it a satirical comedy. In addition to being humorous, the work also contains serious messages about human nature. These messages can be found in both the comic and tragic scenes. One such message is that humanity is prone to vain hopes and false dreams. Another is that we should not judge people by their appearances but rather by their hearts. Vanity of Human Wishes was very successful when it was first published. It was reprinted several times and remained in print for over a hundred years.
