James Boswell: The Life of Johnson（ISBN=9780521378932） 2025 chm pdf kindle rb azw3 下载 115盘

This is a radical introduction to the Life of Johnson. It

discusses the main structural, dramatic, historical and imaginative

aspects of the work, and establishes its intellectual contexts:

Hume's philosophy, earlier biographical writings by Boswell, and

the French and German Enlightenment and romantic traditions.

Professor Clingham offers an account of the Life based upon

reassessment of the nature of biography, of Boswell's style and

thought, and of Johnson's own works. As he examines the Life's

complex psychological, emotional and artistic facets, a fresh

picture of Boswell as biographer emerges. The book also provides a

table of the principal scenes and conversations in the Life, as

well as a chronological table of Boswell's life and times and a

guide to further reading.
