"James Boswell (1740-1795), best known as the biographer of Samuel Johnson, was also
a lawyer, journalist, diarist, and an insightful chronicler of a pivotal epoch in
Western history. This fascinating collection, edited by Paul Tankard, presents a generous
and varied selection of Boswell's journalistic writings, most of which have not been
published since the eighteenth century. It offers a new angle on the history of journalism,
an idiosyncratic view of literature, politics, and public life in late eighteenth-century
Britain, and an original perspective on a complex and engaging literary personality"
