Subtitled, "Dr Johnson In The Company Of Women". A fresh look at Johnson's life and times, with particular attention to his circle of women.
Synopsis
Dr Johnson is often thought of as a strident, overbearing conversationalist, a man who famously asserted that 'Women have all the liberty they should wish to have'. In this book, the author argues it is time to consider how Johnson lived his life, not just what he said.
