Bøger af James Boswell

James Boswells "London dagbog" er blevet til i årene 1762-1763, da den blot 22-årige skotte opholdt sig i byen i en periode på ni måneder. For eftertiden giver dagbogen et vigtigt indblik i livet i storbyen i midten af 1700-tallet. Den er dog ikke kun interessant som historisk dokument, men også i kraft af sine litterære kvaliteter, for Boswell var en dygtig skribent. Undervejs præsenteres vi for et broget persongalleri fra alle samfundslag – blandt andre elskerinden Louisa, der har smittet Boswell med gonorré, og den senere ven Samuel Johnson, om hvem Boswell senere skrev en meget berømt biografi.James Boswell (1740-1795) var en skotsk adelsmand, der for eftertiden er blevet kendt for sine meget omfattende dagbogsskriverier og for sin biografi om litteraten Samuel Johnson. Boswell begyndte at skrive dagbog, da han som ung mand opholdt sig i London i 1762-63, og han fortsatte resten af livet.
