IT HAS been just a bit over three years since our 1990s-era Johnson column in the newspaper was revived as this blog. Johnson’s format is now about to change again—to become, once more, a column. This time it will be hosted online, on our sister blog Prospero, which covers cultural matters. If you haven’t already added Prospero to your RSS reader, you should do so anyway. But now it will feature, each week, a longer and more developed set of thoughts on a language-related topic. We hope that readers who miss the frequency and the sometimes off-the-cuff nature of the blog will accept the trade-off of reduced frequency but greater depth.

After two weeks’ holiday, the Johnson column will begin appearing on Prospero in the week beginning July 22nd. See you there.
