Writer & lexicographer

Samuel Johnson

Wrote a dictionary of the English language almost single-handed in nine years, and is the second most quoted Englishman after Shakespeare, largely thanks to Boswell.

Samuel Johnson, often called Dr Johnson, was an English writer and polymath who made lasting contributions as a poet, playwright, essayist, moralist, literary critic, sermonist, biographer, editor, and lexicographer. The work for which he is best known is his 42,733-entry Dictionary of the English Language (1755). For this and other contributions in and to the English language, the Oxford Dictionary of National Biography has called him "arguably the most distinguished man of letters in English history".
