James Boswell (1740-1795) was a noted Scottish biographer and diarist, best known for his seminal work, “The Life of Samuel Johnson, LL.D.” (1791). A lawyer by profession, Boswell met Dr. Johnson in 1763, and their ensuing friendship laid the foundation for what would become one of the most celebrated biographies in the English language. Boswell”s meticulous documentation of Dr. Johnson”s conversations and behaviors brought a new depth to the art of biography, combining rigorous historical method with a dynamic narrative style. His portrayal of Johnson was not simply that of a brilliant lexicographer, but of a complex and humane character, full of wit and wisdom. Boswell”s other works include the travel journal “An Account of Corsica” and his “Boswell”s London Journal”, which provides a rich account of 18th-century London society. His biographical technique has greatly influenced the genre, and “The Life of Samuel Johnson” remains a primary source for scholars of Johnson and the English literary period. Boswell”s dedication to detail, the vividness of his observations, and his capacity to capture the idiosyncrasies of his subjects have immortalized his contribution to literary scholarship.
