James Boswell

    18 octobre 1740 – 19 mai 1795

    James Boswell est surtout connu pour ses biographies, en particulier sa représentation perspicace de Samuel Johnson, mais ses propres journaux détaillés révèlent une profonde observation personnelle et des détails intimes. Ces écrits, découverts bien après son époque, offrent des récits vivants de ses voyages et de ses rencontres avec des personnalités marquantes de son temps. L'approche littéraire de Boswell se caractérise par un regard aiguisé sur la nature humaine et les dynamiques sociales, utilisant souvent ses observations sur autrui pour éclairer des vérités plus générales. Son héritage en tant que compagnon et observateur attentif est même entré dans la langue, reflétant sa capacité unique à saisir l'essence des individus et des conversations.
