EDITORS COMMENTS
This poignant image captures the final moments of Dr. Samuel Johnson, the renowned English lexicographer, literary critic, and historian, as he lies on his deathbed in 1784. Surrounded by a group of concerned onlookers, including his devoted wife, Tetty, and his physician, Dr. Robert Levet, Johnson's face is etched with the deep lines of exhaustion and sadness that come with the knowledge of approaching death. The scene is set in Johnson's London home, where he had spent the last years of his life, surrounded by the books and manuscripts that had been his constant companions throughout his illustrious career. Johnson's groundbreaking work on the English language, specifically his creation of the first comprehensive English dictionary, had cemented his place in history as a literary giant. His Dictionary of the English Language, published in 1755, was a monumental achievement that brought clarity and precision to the English language, and it remains a testament to Johnson's unwavering dedication to the written word. As the end drew near, Johnson's friends and admirers gathered to pay their respects and offer their support. Among them were many of the most prominent literary figures of the day, including Joshua Reynolds, Edmund Burke, and James Boswell. Boswell, who had been a close friend and biographer of Johnson, recorded the final days of Johnson's life in his famous book, "The Life of Samuel Johnson." This powerful image serves as a poignant reminder of the human condition, as we witness the great mind of Dr. Johnson, who had so profoundly influenced the English language and literature, come to terms with the inevitability of death. The concern and emotion etched on the faces of those around him underscore the profound impact that Johnson had on those who knew him, and on the literary world as a whole.
