サマリー
Samuel Johnson was living proof that a person can be extremely messy and disorganised but still do work of great worth. He compiled and almost single-handedly wrote an English dictionary that changed the language for good. ‘Dictionary Johnson’ established the spelling and meaning of many words; he looked at etymology; he poked fun and cracked jokes. He lived hand to mouth, writing for money, and helped establish the modern literary world.
Special thanks to Judith Hawley, Professor of Eighteenth-Century Literature at Royal Holloway, University of London.
Produced by BBC Studios Audio in partnership with The Open University.
