Autorenporträt
JAMES BOSWELL (1740-1795), born in Edinburgh, his first published work, An Account of Corsica, The Journal of a Tour to That Island; and Memoirs of Pascal Paoli (1768) earned him acclaim as a writer. Boswell was also a lawyer and diarist, but is best known as a biographer documenting, in particular, his intimacies with Samuel Johnson in The Life of Samuel Johnson (1791).
