About the book

James Boswell's The Life of Samuel Johnson is one of the most celebrated biographies in the English language. It records the life, conversations and personality of Dr Samuel Johnson, the writer, critic and lexicographer best known for compiling his great Dictionary of the English Language. Boswell combines biography with anecdotes, conversations and personal recollections, creating an unusually vivid portrait of Johnson's intelligence, wit, prejudices and friendships. The book also provides a rich picture of eighteenth-century literary London and the circle of writers and artists surrounding Johnson.
