Doctor Johnson And His World by Frank Ernest Halliday

Written with a deep and sympathetic knowledge of Johnson's life and works, Halliday's biography takes a close look at what Johnson's peers wrote about him, and what he himself wrote during his lifetime; including his Dictionary, which was a major step forward in lexicography, and his Lives of the Poets, which remain models of sound literary judgement. The book is set in the context of the dazzling social circle in which Dr Johnson moved, which included Garrick, Sir Joshua Reynolds, Goldsmith, Burke and Fanny Burney.
