One of the most famous biographies in the history of this literary form Boswell's Life of Johnson describes the life of Samuel Johnson a poet essayist literary critic and lexicographer. Johnson's 1755 publication of A Dictionary of the English Language was regarded as the preeminent English dictionary until the Oxford English Dictionary was published in 1928. He published several other works throughout his life including an edition of Shakespeare's plays with critical annotations that would inspire the various supposed authoritative Shakespeare texts that followed by other editors. Boswell's biography first published in 1791 is known for its vivid detail. Though the biographer met his subject late in Johnson's life his extensive research allowed him to portray a comprehensive picture of Johnson's life. Indeed modern scholars have used Boswell's description of Johnson's mannerisms and sometimes disconcerting physical gestures to put together a posthumous diagnosis of what is now known as Tourette's Syndrome. Notably this reprint edition by the Oxford University Press is based on the third edition published in 1799 which was the last to be published with Boswell's own revisions. Hard Cover. Near Fine.
