Samuel Johnson byname Dr. Johnson born September 18 1709 Lichfield Staffordshire England - died December 13 1784 London English critic biographer essayist poet and lexicographer regarded as one of the greatest figures of 18th-century life and letters. Johnson once characterized literary biographies as "mournful narratives" and he believed that he lived "a life radically wretched." Yet his career can be seen as a literary success story of the sickly boy from the Midlands who by talent tenacity and intelligence became the foremost literary figure and the most formidable conversationalist of his time. For future generations Johnson was synonymous with the later 18th century in England. The disparity between his circumstances and achievement gives his life its especial interest. - Britannica George Routledge and Sons, Limited hardcover
