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.
