SAMUEL JOHNSON (1709-1784) The Plan of a Dictionary of the English Language; Addressed to the Right Honourable Philip Dormer, Earl of Chesterfield . London: J. and P. Knapton [etc.], 1747. Publisher Robert Dodsley suggested to Johnson that a dictionary of the English language might be a successful venture and proposed the Earl of Chesterfield as a patron. Johnson addressed this thirtyfour page pamphlet to the Earl, who did little to support the effort. Johnson's query, "Is not a patron, my lord, one who looks with unconcern upon a man struggling for life in the water, and when he has reached ground encumbers him with help?" recalls the dependency of authors on patronage throughout the eighteenth century. This system only began to change with the rise of the periodical press that led to a profession of authorship, a transition in which Johnson was a major figure. Johnson embarked on his Plan alone, although what he had projected to be the work of three years required eight, and the Dictionary only appeared in 1755.

Birthplace Lichfield, England Education Briefly went to Pembroke College Oxford University, but left without a degree for financial reasons. Other jobs Did you know? Johnson suffered from bouts of extreme depression, characterised by Boswell as "a horrible hypochondria... dejection, gloom, and despair" which left him with chronic tics, possibly Tourette's Syndrome. Critical verdict Strikingly clever, startlingly ugly and indefatigably hard-working, Johnson produced his first poem at three, on "good master Duck". Like Wilde, he often gets remembered for his quotability rather than works, thanks to Boswell's biography (in fact largely reconstructed from memory). With his Lives of the Poets, edition of Shakespeare and periodical essays he advanced criticism, biography and journalism; Rasselas, written to pay for his mother's funeral, is a no-word-wasted search for human fulfilment which ends with a "conclusion, in which nothing is concluded". His great work, the Dictionary - which defines lexicographer as "a harmless drudge" - was written over nine years in one room with borrowed books and six copyists.
