James Boswell''s ''Life of Johnson'' - An Edition of Original Manuscript, in Four Volumes; Vol. 4: 1780

In this edition of Boswell's "Life of Johnson", Marshall Waingrow offers a fresh reading of Boswell's work. He charts the changes made during composition and at the proof stage, and corrects and explains the printer's misreadings and author's errors which crept into the final edition.

Riassunto
