Samuel Johnson

Samuel Johnson (18 September 1709 [O.S. 7 September] – 13 December 1784), 

often referred to as Dr. Johnson, was an English writer who made lasting 

contributions to English literature as a poet, essayist, moralist, literary critic, 

biographer, editor and lexicographer. Johnson was a devout Anglican and 

committed Tory, and is described by the Oxford Dictionary of National 

Biography as "arguably the most distinguished man of letters in English

history". He is also the subject of perhaps the most famous biography

in English literature, namely The Life of Samuel Johnson by James Boswell.
