Samuel Johnson
"In this definitive interpretation of his life and works, Samuel Johnson is presented not as a legendary figure of Boswell's Life, but as an individual and writer of startling relevance to the modern reader. He defined the literary and moral values of his age, from the essays and poetry, the Dictionary, the Lives of of the Poets and his journalism, Walter Jackson Bate conveys the genius of perhaps the greatest English man of letters."- Walter Bate
