About the author

Samuel Johnson

1709–1784

A towering figure of 18th-century English literature, this sharp-witted writer helped shape how the English language was read, judged, and defined. Best known for his great dictionary and his lively essays, he still feels startlingly modern in his curiosity, humor, and moral seriousness.
