Despre autor
Samuel Johnson (1709–1784), a distinguished English writer, lexicographer, and critic, was a preeminent figure of 18th-century English letters. Born in Lichfield, Staffordshire, he made enduring contributions to English literature. His prolific endeavors cover a vast literary territory, from essays and poetry to biographies and criticism. Johnson's magnum opus is the 'A Dictionary of the English Language' (1755), a work of monumental importance that shaped the course of English lexicography. His 'A Grammar of the English Tongue' is another significant work that exemplifies his concern with the English language's structure. Known for his formidable intellect and wit, Johnson was a key member of the literary circle that included figures such as Sir Joshua Reynolds and Edmund Burke. His 'Lives of the Most Eminent English Poets' (1779-1781) further illustrates his profound influence on literary criticism. Johnson's style is marked by his acute awareness of moral and social issues, often infused with a moralistic tone. His work reflects his dedication to culture and society, providing readers timeless wisdom through his writings. His legacy includes not only his literary works but also 'Boswell's Life of Johnson,' a biography by his friend James Boswell, which remains an essential source for understanding Johnson's life and times.
