520 1 $a"Drawing on a lifetime of study of Johnson and his era, as well as a wide array of new archival materials, noted biographer Jeffrey Meyers tells the extraordinary story of one of the great geniuses of English letters. Johnson emerges in this portrait as a mass of contradictions: lazy and energetic, aggressive and tender, melancholy and witty, comforted yet tormented by religion. Meyers also gives a vivid account of Johnson's circle of friends in London - Edmund Burke, Edward Gibbon, Sir Joshua Reynolds, James Boswell, Oliver Goldsmith, David Garrick, and Fanny Burney - perhaps the greatest concentration of genius in literary history."--BOOK JACKET.
