Book Description
The original manuscript of James Boswell`s Life of Johnson-a composite of his basic draft and innumerable revisions-served as printer`s copy despite its maze-like appearance. This book is the first of four volumes to be devoted to that original manuscript, an edition that will make this complex document accessible for the first time. The specially designed text, supplemented by textual and explanatory notes, enables the reader to trace all the substantive changes Boswell made in the process of composition.
