Synopsis
Written virtually single-handedly over a seven-year period by a dean of English letters, Johnson's Dictionary first appeared in 1755. A remarkable monument to the vigour and variety of our language and to the genius of its author, it served as the standard dictionary for more then 150 years and formed the basis for all subsequent English dictionaries. This modern version reduces the original 2,300 pages of definitions and literary examples to a more manageable length, retaining the verbal pleasure and historical curiosity of the original.
