Samuel? Samuel johnson is an English writer and critic. (1709— 1784) is an important poet, essayist, biographer and speaker in the history of English literature. This dictionary compiled by him has made great contributions to the development of English. Like Jonson, he was also the leader of the literary world at that time, and his comments on literary novels, poems and literary works, even if only a few words, were widely publicized as golden advice. 1765, Johnson published the Complete Works of Shakespeare revised by him. This version is often criticized by later scholars, because Johnson sometimes deletes the original text out of his own will. His main contribution to Shakespeare's criticism lies in his comments on Shakespeare's plays and his preface to this edition. In the Johnson era, the cultural atmosphere has developed to romanticism, and people no longer regard "three unifications" as sacred. Compared with Dryden and Voltaire, Johnson is a more tolerant neoclassicist.
