A fresh, faithful reintroduction to a luminous corner of 18th century Britain. Deformities Of Samuel Johnson, Selected From His Works gathers a witty, human snapshot of a towering figure through a curated set of biographical sketches and satirical biographical sketches, sprinkled with literary anecdotes that illuminate the man behind the legend.
