A Political Biography of Samuel Johnson (Hardcover)

Samuel Johnson (1709-84) rose from obscure origins to become one of the major literary figures of the 18th century as a poet, essayist, lexicographer, literary critic, and conversationalist. He was also renowned as one of the most outspoken and controversial political commentators of the age, fomenting both admiration and rage in his own time, and still dividing scholars and readers to this day. Hudson's biography reassesses the evidence for Johnson's being an arch-conservative, as some have thought, or as a humane liberal, as others have argued.
