Dr. Johnson: Interviews and Recollections

by Norman Page (Editor)

Johnson is known more intimately to more readers than any other figure in English literature, and examples of his famous conversational powers have passed into the language. But he is known almost entirely through the great biography of James Boswell. This volume brings together a selection of the impressions of other men and women who knew him and includes accounts from different viewpoints of his appearance, his behavior, his friendships, and above all his incomparable talk.
