Sam Johnson was a writer, essayist, poet, biographer, dictionary-maker—a great English literary figure you may not know enough about.
My biography of Sam was published October 24, 2023, written for the general reader and not for the scholar. Clear language, not too long or short (just over 200 pages), authoritative, and covering his life from his birth in Lichfield in 1709 to his death in London in 1784.
