Synopsis

This collection of letters and journals offers a fascinating glimpse into the world of Samuel Johnson and his close friend Hester Lynch Thrale.

Edited and annotated by Alexander Meyrick Broadley and Thomas Seccombe, this volume is an invaluable resource for students of 18th-century literature and society.
