The General Correspondence Of James Boswell


Book Description

This book is the first in a two-volume edition of James Boswell's correspondence during a period that was one of the happiest and most productive of his life - from his return from the Grand Tour in February 1766 to his marriage in November 1769. During this time Boswell became a practicing lawyer, a best-selling author, a family man, and a landowner as Laird of Dalblair. The correspondence - some 742 letters - gives a new perspective on Boswell's personal and professional development as well as on society, politics, gender issues, crime, theater, industry, agriculture, domestic life, religion, philosophy, publishing, and much more.
