It was published on October 27, 2009, shortly before the author's death.  Building on earlier work by scholars Robert DeMaria, Walter Jackson Bate, Lawrence Lipking and Peter Martin, many critics lauded "Samuel Johnson: A Life" as a significant step forward in Johnsonian biography and criticism.  In the biography, Nokes challenges James Boswell's significance in Dr. Johnson's life, writing that "Johnson wished to keep...his acknowledged biographer at a distance" and even second-guessed his "annointment" of Boswell as his official biographer. <SEP>  Johnson was a devout Anglican and committed Tory, and is described by the "Oxford Dictionary of National Biography" as "arguably the most distinguished man of letters in English history". Samuel Johnson (18 September 1709 <nowiki>[</nowiki>OS 7 September]  – 13 December 1784), often referred to as Dr. Johnson, was an English writer who made lasting contributions to English literature as a poet, essayist, moralist, literary critic, biographer, editor and lexicographer.  He is also the subject of the biography, "The Life of Samuel Johnson" by James Boswell. <SEP>  It represented a new approach to journalism, featuring cultivated essays on contemporary manners, and established the pattern that would be copied in such British classics Addison and Steele's "Spectator", Samuel Johnson's "Rambler" and "Idler", Goldsmith's "Citizen of the World", and influence essayists as late as Charles Lamb and William Hazlitt. The Tatler was a British literary and society journal begun by Richard Steele in 1709 and published for two years.  Addison and Steele liquidated "The Tatler" in order to make a fresh start with the similar "Spectator", and the collected issues of "Tatler" are usually published in the same volume as the collected "Spectator".
