| 內容簡介： |
Beryl Bainbridge''s latest novel is a masterly evocation of the
last years of Dr Johnson, arguably Britain''s greatest Man of
Letters. The time is the 1770s and 1780s and Johnson, having
completed his life''s major work he compiled the first ever
Dictionary of the English Language is running an increasingly
chaotic life. Torn between his strict morality and his undeclared
passion for Mrs Thrale, the wife of an old friend, ACCORDING TO
QUEENEY reveals one of Britain''s most wonderful characters in all
his wit and glory. Above all, though, this is a story of love and
friendship and brilliantly narrated by Queeney, Mrs Thrale''s
daughter, looking back over her life. A few of Johnson quotes:
*Marriage has many pains, but celibacy has no pleasures *No man but
a blockhead ever wrote, except for money *When a man is tired of
London, he is tired of life
