Samuel Johnson [eBook - Biblioboard]: A Biography Crossroad Press, 2017 John Wain presents a major biography of England's greatest man of letters. He describes how "Johnson often mixed with people who were desperate human wrecks, some of whom were close friends; to the end of his life he filled house with people who were not successes in the eyes of the world, yet at the same time he conversed on equal and better than equal terms with the most important and brilliant people of that time." |
