The Life of Samuel Johnson by James Boswell
While Johnson's Dictionary remains a monument of scholarship, and his essays and criticism command continuing respect, this biography gives information of the man himself. Through a series of detailed anecdotes, Johnson emerges as a sociable figure with a huge appetite for life, crossing swords with other great eighteenth-century luminaries.
James Boswell was a friend and associate of Samuel Johnson. Christopher Hibbert is the author of many books for Penguin, including biographies of Elizabeth I and The Marlboroughs.
