Bag om Boswelliana

Boswelliana: The Commonplace Book of James Boswell is a collection of notes, quotes, and personal musings compiled by the famous Scottish biographer and diarist, James Boswell. The book is edited and introduced by Charles Rogers, who has carefully selected and arranged the entries to offer a glimpse into Boswell's mind and personality.The entries in Boswelliana cover a wide range of topics, including literature, politics, religion, and personal reflections on life and society. The book includes Boswell's observations on famous figures such as Samuel Johnson, David Hume, and Oliver Goldsmith, as well as his thoughts on his own life and career.The Commonplace Book format was popular in the 18th and 19th centuries, and Boswell's version is an excellent example of the genre. It provides a fascinating insight into the intellectual and cultural world of the time, as well as into Boswell's own character and interests.Overall, Boswelliana is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of ideas, the life and works of James Boswell, or the cultural and intellectual world of 18th-century Scotland.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations. Because we believe this work is culturally important, we have made it available as part of our commitment for protecting, preserving, and promoting the world's literature in affordable, high quality, modern editions, that are true to their original work.
