'Samuel Johnson' by Peter Martin

£25.00

Quantity:

Purchase from The Samuel Johnson Birthplace Museum

This new biography, the first substantial one for thirty years, illuminates the Johnson that James Boswell, Johnson's first biographer, never knew. Making use of new research and scholarship on various aspects of Johnson's life, Peter Martin gives us a human portrait of Dr Johnson. The Johnson that emerges from this enthralling biography is still the foremost figure of his age but a more rebellious, unpredictable, flawed and sympathetic figure than has previously been known.
