Mr Foote's other leg

Kelly, Ian, 1966-2012
Books, Manuscripts
Samuel Foote, although forgotten now, was a major figure of Georgian London. Friend of Johnson, Garrick, Fielding, Goldsmith, Sheridan, Boswell and Franklin, Foote was the most famous and the funniest man in England. Here, Kelly argues Foote to be the singular founding father of the British sense of humour.
