Publisher Notes

A critically acclaimed biographer reconstructs the unusual friendship of eighteenth-century poet, playwright, and convicted murderer Richard Savage with a young, unknown, provincial schoolmaster, Samuel Johnson.

Media Reviews

"Richard Holmes has taken a literary life and shown how the biographical lens can refract its meanings beyond the personal...[his] book exemplifies the qualities he attributes to biography, as 'its perils and its possibilities' were first crystallized in Johnson's life of Savage."
