About this book
"Anecdotes of the late Samuel Johnson, LL.D." by Hester Lynch Piozzi is a biographical work published in 1786. Drawing from her personal notes and twenty years of friendship with the renowned literary figure, Piozzi presents intimate glimpses into Samuel Johnson's manners, genius, and everyday life. Written in Italy after Johnson's death, the book sold out immediately, reportedly keeping King George III reading through the night. Despite mixed critical reception—some calling it "rubbish," others praising its liveliness—the work established Piozzi's reputation as an eighteenth-century writer.
