I had, in college, a professor called Walter Jackson Bate, and he taught a course called The Age of Johnson. It’s about Samuel Johnson and his period, 18th-century British writing. So we all got to endure Samuel Johnson, and Boswell’s ‘Life of Johnson’ is now my favorite book. I read it all the time I can; it’s great for going to sleep.
