À propos de cet audio
Episode One of Broad Street to Brideshead kicks off with a deep dive into the life and legacy of Samuel Johnson — the brilliant, bold, and often beleaguered mind behind the first great English Dictionary.
We’re joined by renowned linguist Professor Lynda Mugglestone, Professor of the History of English at Oxford’s Pembroke College, to explore Johnson’s rise from a struggling Oxford student to a towering figure of 18th-century London.
From poverty and perseverance to prose and prestige, we trace Dr. Johnson’s remarkable journey from Broad Street to literary immortality.
