The anecdotes were recorded and compiled by the British author and diarist Hester Lynch Thrale (1741–1821), who became Hester Lynch Piozzi following her second marriage. The original version of the text was published in 1786, shortly after Johnson's death in 1784. An editorial introduction and bibliography were created for this Cambridge edition. This book will be of value to anyone with an interest in Johnson, Thrale and eighteenth-century thought.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003ePreface\u003cbr\u003e Bibliography\u003cbr\u003e Introduction\u003cbr\u003e Anecdotes of the late Samuel Johnson, Ll.D.\u003cbr\u003e Notes on the text\u003cbr\u003e Index.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eSubject Areas: Literary studies: general [\u003ca title=\"See our other books on Literary studies: general\" href=\"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/search?q=%22Literary%20studies:%20general%20%5BDSB%5D%22\"\u003eDSB\u003c\/a\u003e]\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"Cambridge University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46266486980888,"sku":"9781316619971","price":22.69,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0730\/2037\/5320\/products\/9781316619971i.jpg?v=1696683081","url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/anecdotes-of-the-late-samuel-johnson-during-the-last-twenty-years-of-his-life-paperback-9781316619971","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
