The Life of Samuel Johnson

The classic biography of Dr. Johnson, by his disciple, James Boswell. The already great reputation of Johnson was sealed with the publication of this book in 1791, and it is largely due to this book that Dr. Johnson is still so well-remembered today. This was long considered the standard English biography of a man of letters, against which all others were judged. Copyright (C) Muze Inc. 2005. For personal use only. All rights reserved.
