Summary "Anecdotes of the Late Samuel Johnson, LL.D." by Hester Lynch Piozzi is a collection of biographical anecdotes and reflections written in the late 18th century. This work provides insight into the life and character of the noted author and critic Samuel Johnson, particularly during the last twenty years of his life. It captures moments from his friendships, personal experiences, and social interactions, drawing a vivid portrait of Johnson's personality and thoughts. The opening of this memoir begins with a brief introduction to Hester Lynch Piozzi, formerly Mrs. Thrale, who was a close friend to Johnson and provided a home for him in his later years. It outlines her background, their relationship, and the literary atmosphere of the time. Piozzi shares personal anecdotes about Johnson, his family, and his early life, portraying the complexities of his character, his literary genius, and his often tumultuous relationships. The narrative suggests a blend of admiration and personal reflection, hinting at both the warmth of their camaraderie and the challenges of his personality.
