About the author

Samuel Johnson

1709–1784

A towering voice of 18th-century English literature, he is best known for his landmark Dictionary of the English Language and for the sharp wit, moral force, and common sense that run through his essays and criticism. His work still feels lively because it mixes learning with humor and a deep interest in how people really live.
