  • Boswell's Correspondence

    Restored Classics to Go Edition

  • Critical Strictures on the New Tragedy of Elvira

    Restored Classics to Go Edition

    de James Boswell ...
    In eighteenth-century London, three young Scots—James Boswell, Andrew Erskine, and George Dempster—turned a night at Drury Lane into a gleeful literary ambush. Their Critical Strictures on the New Tragedy of Elvira is both a prank and a pointed act of criticism, aimed at David Mallet's tragedy and at the vain, opportunistic figure many contemporaries believed him to be. The pamphlet traces the ... Leer más

    Restored Classics to Go Edition

    de James Boswell ...
    Samuel Johnson strides through these pages as Boswell's most formidable companion: witty, argumentative, practical, and unexpectedly tender.

  • Anecdotes of the Learned Pig

    Restored Classics to Go Edition

    de James Boswell ...
    A learned pig becomes the unlikely hero of this wickedly comic satire, his life narrated with the pomp of a statesman and the wit of a political pamphlet. Born amid Tory sympathies and shadowed by Whig mockery, royal symbolism, and partisan conflict, he seems to absorb the ideological noise of his age and transform it into animal absurdity, mock learning, and human ambition. As the pig is dressed, ... Leer más

    Boswell's portrait of Samuel Johnson is at once intimate, argumentative, and deeply admiring, capturing a mind that could command a room, a page, or a friendship with equal force.
