episodes highlighting obstacles and successes alongside his notable
peers. It's an intimate record of the celebrated writer and fixture

Boswell successfully illustrates the character and reality of

the story structure, delivering an informative and impactful
narrative. With an eye-catching new cover, and professionally
typeset manuscript, this edition of The Life of Samuel Johnson is
