Synopsis
The Life of Samuel Johnson, written by James Boswell, is a biography of the famous English literary figure Samuel Johnson. The book was published in 1791, several years after Johnson's death, and is considered one of the greatest biographies ever written. The book chronicles Johnson's life, beginning with his birth in 1709 and ending with his death in 1784. It covers his childhood, his education, his struggles with poverty and depression, and his rise to fame as a writer, critic, and lexicographer. Boswell, who was a friend of Johnson's, provides a detailed and intimate portrait of the man, including his eccentricities, his wit, and his complex personality. He also includes many anecdotes and conversations that he had with Johnson, which provide insight into his thoughts, beliefs, and opinions on a wide range of topics. In addition to Johnson's life, Boswell also provides a vivid picture of 18th-century England, including its literary and cultural scene, politics, and social customs. Overall, The Life of Samuel Johnson is a rich and engaging biography that offers a fascinating glimpse into the life and times of one of the most important figures in English literature.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
