About the author

James Boswell

Scottish biographer whose The Life of Samuel Johnson is universally acknowledged as the greatest biography in the English language. Boswell's intimate daily record of Johnson's conversation, opinions, and humor created a new standard for biographical writing. His journals, published posthumously, are also remarkable self-portraits.
