Professor emeritus J. W. Johnson. (University of Rochester photo \/ University archives)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The professor emeritus\u2019s research interests included Restoration biography, the Earl of Rochester, and 18th-century literature.<\/h2>\n

James William \u201cBill\u201d Johnson, a professor emeritus in the University of Rochester\u2019s<\/a> Department of English<\/a>, is being remembered by former students as a man with a passion for literature and life, a devoted teacher who was invested in his students in and out of the classroom.<\/p>\n

Johnson was known professionally as J. W. Johnson during his time at the University, which spanned from 1955 to 1997. He died May 9, 2022, in Pasadena, California.<\/p>\n

His research interests included Restoration biography, the relationships of the Earl of Rochester with the leading playwrights in London from 1660 to 1680, and his influence on later writers such as Swift and Pope. He was also interested in the works of contemporary writers such as Ionesco and Arrabal and the depiction of female and male models of conduct in motion pictures from 1920 to 1970.<\/p>\n

Johnson was the author or editor of nine books, including A Profane Wit: The Life of John Wilmot, Earl of Rochester<\/em>; The Formation of English Neo-Classical Thought<\/em>; and Logic and Rhetoric<\/em>. He taught courses in subjects such as 18th-century literature, the English novel, women\u2019s fiction, William Faulkner, women in film, and American male images.<\/p>\n

\u201cHis seminars were dynamic and exhilarating,\u201d says former student Sara Varhus \u201974 (MA), \u201980 (PhD), who earned her doctorate under Johnson\u2019s supervision. \u201cHe was a \u2018big picture\u2019 thinker, always reaching for insights and synthesis. At the same time, he could quote from memory long passages and pithy statements by writers ranging from the ancient world to the present. Limericks, musical theatre, opera, Thornton Wilder\u2014his interests were eclectic.\u201d<\/p>\n

From the late 1970s to the early 1990s, Johnson\u2019s humorous anecdotes about his Southern heritage were a mainstay of his regular commentaries for public radio station WXXI in Rochester, New York.<\/p>\n

From Birmingham to Rochester<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Johnson was born in Birmingham, Alabama, in 1927, the son of a clerk for a pipe company and a homemaker. When Johnson was born, one brother already was 20 and another was 15.<\/p>\n

After high school, he enlisted in the Navy and served in Chicago and Corpus Christi, Texas, during the final stages of World War II. He recalled once receiving a request for volunteers to help conduct open-air tests of atomic weapons\u2014before the lethal effects of radiation exposure were fully understood. He passed on the offer.<\/p>\n

After being discharged in 1946, Johnson earned a bachelor\u2019s degree in liberal arts at Birmingham-Southern College,\u00a0then a master\u2019s at Harvard University and, in 1954, his doctorate at Vanderbilt University. During his time in Nashville, he babysat future vice president Al Gore and had dinner with Minnie Pearl, the Grand Ole Opry comedienne.<\/p>\n

Johnson spent the next year in London as a Fulbright Scholar. While there, he received a letter from Catherine Koehler, chair of Rochester\u2019s English department, offering him a teaching position. As luck would have it, there was a Rochester associate professor in English named Maggie Denny who was spending a year in London. They met over lunch, and Johnson accepted the offer.<\/p>\n

Johnson and wife Nan: \u2018pillars of the University community\u2019<\/strong><\/h3>\n

At Rochester, Johnson met Nancy Heffelfinger, a graduate student at the University\u2019s Warner School of Education, and the two married in 1957. \u201cNan\u201d would forge a legacy of her own, serving at various times as a trustee of the State University of New York, an adjunct associate professor in Rochester\u2019s Department of Political Science, and a 20-year run (elected six times) as part of the Monroe County Legislature starting in 1975. In 1995, she founded and was named director of the Susan B. Anthony Center<\/a> at the University, a position she held until 1999.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey were truly pillars of the University community,\u201d says Richard Garth \u201982 (MA). \u201cBill would do anything to help a student. One time I burned my hand in a cooking class. Bill knew a hand specialist at Strong Memorial Hospital and went out of his way to set up an appointment for me.\u201d<\/p>\n

Varhus said she became \u201can honorary family member\u201d during her time at Rochester, often watching the Johnsons\u2019 two kids or the family dog. But it wasn\u2019t until she graduated that Varhus reached a new threshold in their relationship. \u201cWhen I and a few other English graduate students received our degrees at the 1980 commencement, he stepped forward to hand us our diplomas and announced, \u2018Now you can call me Bill!\u2019\u2019\u2019 she says.<\/p>\n

Varhus says Johnson projected a sophisticated image on campus that contrasted with the trend of the times.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn the late 1960s and early 70s, when most of the graduate students and many of the faculty embraced a somewhat scruffy look, Bill stood out as an elegant figure\u2014tall, with a mane of wavy hair, wearing ascots and suits,\u201d she says. \u201cHe also demanded that his seminars be smoke-free. He was ahead of the times.\u201d<\/p>\n

She adds that, \u201clike the great satirists of the 18th century, Bill had a deep appreciation for the human comedy. Whether directed at literary characters or people in the evening news, his commentary was ironic and witty. And his Alabama accent made his pithy statements all the more incisive.\u201d<\/p>\n

Johnson and his wife often entertained his graduate students in their elegant home on Oliver Street. \u201cI recall lively evenings with wide-ranging talk and laughter,\u201d Varhus says.<\/p>\n

\u2018<\/strong>He was the reason I made it through\u2019<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Annette Forker Weld \u201989 (PhD) remembers Johnson as \u201ckind and quick-witted.\u201d She says she was a \u201cnon-traditional student\u201d\u2014a mother of three and pregnant with her fourth. \u201cBill understood that my academic journey was dependent upon babysitters, rare quiet time alone for reading and writing, and a sympathetic husband who carried more than his share of the parenting load,\u201d Weld says. \u201cAt the time, Bill read the names of the graduate students at commencement, draping us in our academic hoods. He gave me a hug along with the hood, and afterward, my family enjoyed champagne with Nan and him at their home. He was the reason I made it through.\u201d<\/p>\n

Robert Miola \u201977 (PhD) says Johnson was \u201cwitty, provocative, and dazzling in his command of the material and his ability to excite interest, ask probing questions, or go on wonderful tangents. He was superb.\u201d<\/p>\n

Johnson retired from teaching in 1997 and spent 20 years living with Nan on the Outer Banks of North Carolina, with travels to Tierra del Fuego, West Africa, Southeast Asia, Russia, Australia, and the Pacific Islands sprinkled in. The two moved to Pasadena in 2017 to be closer to their children and grandchildren.<\/p>\n

In addition to Nan, Johnson is survived by his daughter Miranda, and her husband, Mark Haddad, of Pasadena; son Reed and his wife, Marla Dickerson, of Los Angeles; and grandchildren William Haddad; Elinor Haddad and her husband, Cris Swain; and Annabel Haddad.<\/p>\n
