520    In this portrait of Samuel Johnson, David Nokes positions 
       the great thinker in his rightful place as an active force
       in the Enlightenment, not a mere recorder or performer, 
       and demonstrates how his interaction with life impacted 
       his work. This biography addresses his life and action 
       through the hitherto unexplored perspectives of such major
       players as Johnson's wife, Tetty; Hester Thrale, in whose 
       household he resided for seventeen years while working on 
       his annotated Shakespeare; and Frances Barber, the black 
       manservant who in many ways was like a son to Johnson. --
