Item Details

Description

1851 Life of Samuel Johnson Johnsoniana James Boswell English Biography 10v Set

Samuel Johnson was a famous English writer and scholar most known for his Dictionary of the English Language as well as a collection of biographical accounts of eminent English poets. In the mid-1700s, Johnson met James Boswell, a Scottish biographer who wrote an extensive biography of Johnson, which several experts consider the greatest biography in the English language!

This impressive, ten-volume edition contains 50 engraved illustrations and features additional notes by John Wilson Croker. In addition to the complete Life of Samuel Johnson this set includes Johnsoniana, a work of anecdotes collected by Johnson himself. According to Pottle,

â€œThis version contains both the original texts, augmented by the additional writings of the biographer and his subject, and the very valuable new and related material which Croker introduced.”
