摘　　要：Though many scholars and critics have made efforts explaining its connotation and influence from philosophical,religious and historical perspective about Samuel Johnson’s statement that Shakespeare is“A Poet of Nature”,it is still worthy of discussion.As a Neoclassical critic,Johnson revealed Shakespeare’s genuine faculties through comparison with Homer following John Dryden and Alexzander Popeto illustrate the dramatic writing process.Then Shakespeare’s genius in natural acquisition of human nature and literature tradition,adaptation and concatenation to make something novelty,and selection of original language and characters is exemplified to analyze mixed genre,irregular structure,natural dialogue and characters under the principle of general nature.
