About the author

Samuel Johnson

1709–1784

Best known for creating A Dictionary of the English Language, this brilliant 18th-century writer brought wit, moral seriousness, and sharp observation to essays, criticism, biography, and conversation. His voice still feels lively today: learned, funny, and wonderfully direct.
