Paul Johnson: A Modern Victorian

On the 12th of January this year, British journalist and writer Paul Johnson died at the age of 94. Setting to the job of writing about him, it quickly started to seem as if 94 years were far too few to fit in everything he is reported to have said, done, and written. Wikipedia ominously offered up a “partial bibliography,” which includes dozens of books on every imaginable subject (including a 1,000-page history of the modern world).
