Benefiting from recent critical scholarship that has explored new attitudes toward Johnson, Martin offers a sympathetic portrait of the subject. The Johnson that emerges from this biography is still the foremost figure of his age but a more rebellious, unpredictable, flawed, and sympathetic figure than has been previously known.
