He is as celebrated for his brilliant conversations as for his writing which first appeared in London magazines around 1737. In 1763, Johnson met James Boswell and by 1791 The Life of Samuel Johnson appeared. The biography, hailed by critics as the greatest of all time, records Johnson's conversation so minutely that Johnson is better remembered today for his sayings than for his literary work.
