Abstract
In the Life of Savage, Samuel Johnson exemplifies his enlightenment biographical method, which stresses the biographer's effort to overcome the differences between himself and his subject. Contrary to romantic doctrine, Johnson's theory values the biographer's empathy for, rather than identification with, the biographee.
