Description
One of the most readable modern accounts of Dr. Johnson's life and times. As always with Margaret Lane, it is written in a delightful and engaging style.
Margaret Lane was once one of England's most popular writers of biographies and novels. Her ultra sophisticated writing style and immense powers of research are perhaps no better represented than in "Samuel Johnson and his World," one of the books for which Lane is largely remembered. As the title suggests, the book focuses on Samuel Johnson, but also paints a sometimes blistering - but always colorful - look at the world in which he rose to prominence as a writer and editor. Wonderfully illustrated
