Samuel Johnson, der levede fra 1709 til 1784, var en meget indflydelsesrig engelsk kritiker og forfatter. Mest kendt er han i dag for "A Dictionary of the English Language", som udkom i 1755 og var den første ordbog over det engelske sprog.At Samuel Johnson stadig er et kendt navn skyldes ikke mindst vennen James Boswells biografi "Life of Samuel Johnson", på dansk med titlen "Dr. Johnson", der den dag i dag anses for at være en af de fineste biografier på engelsk. Boswell var en meget dygtig skribent, og "Dr. Johnson" har ikke alene været med til at sikre kendskabet til Samuel Johnson for eftertiden – den er også et stort litterært værk i sig selv.James Boswell (1740-1795) var en skotsk adelsmand, der for eftertiden er blevet kendt for sine meget omfattende dagbogsskriverier og for sin biografi om litteraten Samuel Johnson. Boswell begyndte at skrive dagbog, da han som ung mand opholdt sig i London i 1762-63, og han fortsatte resten af livet.
