Birthdays

On this day, September 18, in 1709, Samuel Johnson was born in Lichfield, Staffordshire, England. A supremely literate man, he was a poet, essayist, moralist, literary critic, biographer, editor and lexicographer, who in 1755 published A Dictionary of the English Language (which he wrote himself, a task that took 9 years); it was the pre-eminent English dictionary until the Oxford English Dictionary was published 173 years later. He was also well known for an influential annotated edition of William Shakespeare’s plays, as well as many other works. “Dr. Johnson” died in London in 1784; he was 75.
