	James Weldon Johnson's Life and Career
		Johnson, James Weldon (17 June 1871-26 June 1938), civil-rights leader, poet, and novelist, was born in Jacksonville, Florida, the son of James Johnson, a resort hotel headwaiter, and Helen Dillet, a schoolteacher.
		Johnson was deeply committed to exposing the injustice and brutality imposed on African Americans throughout the United States, especially in the Jim Crow South.
		Finally, Johnson was a key figure in making the NAACP a clearinghouse for civil-rights court cases; he collaborated closely with such noted attorneys as Moorfield Storey, Louis Marshall, and Arthur Garfield Hayes in a series of cases defending African-American civil rights and attacking the legal structure of segregation.

	Macaulay's Review of Croker's Boswell
		Johnson, in his Life of Tickell, stated that the poem entitled The Royal Progress, which appears in the last volume of the Spectator, was written on the accession of George the First.
		Johnson called him "an author generated by the corruption of a bookseller." This is a very obvious, and even a commonplace allusion to the famous dogma of the old physiologists.
		Johnson came among them the solitary specimen of a past age, the last survivor of the genuine race of Grub Street hacks; the last of that generation of authors whose abject misery and whose dissolute manners had furnished inexhaustible matter to the satirical genius of Pope.

	Georgia Douglas Johnson's Life and Career
		Johnson's life illustrates the difficulties faced by African American women writers in the first half of the century.
		Johnson traveled extensively in the late 1920s, giving lectures and readings, meeting Carl Sandburg in Chicago and Charles Waddell Chesnutt in Cleveland while receiving awards from various organizations, including her alma mater, Atlanta University.
		The rose-covered walk at 1461 S Street, created by Johnson fifty years ago, still stands in testimony to the many African American artists she welcomed and to the love poetry for which she is best known.

	Amazon.com: The Life of Samuel Johnson (Penguin Classics): Books: James Boswell,Christopher Hibbert (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-07)
		Samuel Johnson was born in 1709 and died in 1784--a long life, though one marred by depression and fear of death.
		Johnson recovered from one major period of depression by being immersed in family life with the Thrales, yet Boswell never spent much time at their household, and so never really saw that 'family' side of Johnson.
		Johnson is a great and central figure, for many the greatest critic the English language has ever known but he is too an acquaintance and friend of Garrick, Hume others of distinction.Boswell listens to them also.Johnson was something of a curmudgeon a lovable kind of character who in his anger and outbursts amuses us.

		Tracing Johnson's rocky climb from anonymity to fame, in the course of which he came to stand for both the greatness of English literature and the good sense of the common reader, the book shows how this life transformed the very nature of authorship.
		Johnson steers between the twin perils of ambition and despondency.
		Lipking's thesis is that the transformations Johnson underwent in his career went a long way in shaping what we think of authors, and in that interest spends the bulk of his time examining Johnson's written words.

	Life of Johnson - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In English literature, The Life of Samuel Johnson, L.L.D. was a biography of Dr. Samuel Johnson by James Boswell, published in 1791.
		Although Johnson was undoubtedly a brilliant essayist, critic, lexicographer and wit, the preservation of this reputation is largely due to Boswell's book.
		The Life of Johnson is also regarded as an important stage in the development of the modern genre of biography; many have claimed it as the greatest biography written in English.

	The Samuel Johnson Sound Bite Page: Quotes on Life
		"Life is not long, and too much of it should not be spent in idle deliberation how it shall be spent: deliberation, which those who begin it by prudence, and continue it with subtilty, must, after long expence of thought, conclude by chance.
		Life is a pill which none of us can bear to swallow without gilding; yet for the poor we delight in stripping it still barer, and are not ashamed to shew even visible displeasure, if ever the bitter taste is taken from their mouths."
		"That life is short we are all convinced, and yet suffer not that conviction to repress our projects or limit our expectations; that life is miserable we all feel, and yet we believe that the time is near when we shall feel it no longer.

	A Life Uncorked
		.Johnson has an amazing ability to add layer upon layer of nuance to his subjects, at once placing the wines, regions, and people into their own unique frames, and allowing us to sense his passion for them all.
		Hugh Johnson, the preeminent wine writer of our time, now brings to his fans around the world his first major new book in a decade: this stylish, intimate, and delightfully opinionated autobiographical tour through the world of wine.
		At the heart of A Life Uncorked is the idea that wine is more than a drink; its characteristics link it directly to memory, to locations around the world where grapes are grown and wine is made, and to the dining rooms, restaurants, bars, and gardens where we consume it.

		The text of this edition of Boswell's Life of Samuel Johnson, LL.D. is taken from the two-volume Oxford edition of 1904; in a few places I've corrected errors by comparing the text with that of G. Hill and L. Powell, 6 vols.
		In a few cases in the early part of the Life, several years are run together.
		Boswell uses an asterisk to indicate the works Johnson acknowledged as his own, and a dagger to indicate those he attributed to Johnson on internal evidence.

	Worst Day Of Ex-NBA Star's Life, Eddie Johnson Falsely Accused Of Molesting Little Girl In Same-Name Mix-up - CBS News
		Eddie Johnson was mistaken in some media reports for another Eddie Johnson — a retired 10-year NBA player from Florida who was arrested Tuesday night and charged with sexually assaulting an 8-year-old girl.
		The Eddie Johnson who had nothing to do with that hideous accusation is a former Illinois star who went on to a 17-year career with the Kings, Suns, Rockets and other teams.
		When Eddie Johnson of Phoenix was still playing and Eddie Johnson of Auburn was retired and getting into frequent trouble with the law, there was little problem differentiating between the two.

		Johnson bullies the missus, writes fuck-you letters to the East Faversham Fellowship for the Arts, and denounces queen and church as if perched on a high steeple--all the while waiting for Beckett's imprimatur to confer a godlike status on him, to whisk him into the company of Camus, Lawrence Durrell, and the Beatles.

	The Life of Samuel Johnson LL.D., by James Boswell (chapter31)
		Johnson described it distinctly and vividly, at which I could not but express to him my wonder; because, though my eyes, as he observed, were better than his, I could not by any means equal him in representing visible objects.
		Johnson desired to have ‘Let ambition fire thy mind,’ played over again, and appeared to give a patient attention to it; though he owned to me that he was very insensible to the power of musick.
		Johnson could not bear my thus opposing his avowed opinion, which he had exerted himself with an extreme degree of heat to enforce; and the violent agitation into which he was thrown, while answering, or rather reprimanding me, alarmed me so, that I heartily repented of my having unthinkingly introduced the subject.

		He mentions all told more than fifty names of men and women whom he consulted for information, to which number many others should be added of those who gave him nothing that he could use.

	Johnson's Life of Gray
		Mason has added from his own knowledge that though Gray was poor, he was not eager of money, and that out of the little that he had, he was very willing to help the necessitous.
		When we are told that Cadwallo "hush'd the stormy main," and that Modred "made huge Plinlimmon bow his cloud-top'd head," attention recoils from the repetition of a tale that, even when it was first heard, was heard with scorn.
		[46] The "weaving" of the "winding sheet" he borrowed, as he owns, from the northern Bards; but their texture, however, was very properly the work of female powers, as the art of spinning the thread of life in another mythology.
