Giới thiệu về tác giả

James Boswell (1740–1795) remains a towering literary figure, known primarily for his detailed and vivid biographies, which have been praised for their rich narrative style and historical significance. A Scottish lawyer by profession, Boswell fused his legal acumen with a passion for writing, which culminated in one of the most celebrated biographies of all time, ‘The Life of Samuel Johnson, LL.D.’. However, his contributions to literature extend beyond this magnum opus. His early works include ‘Boswell’s Correspondence with the Honourable Andrew Erskine, and His Journal of a Tour to Corsica’ (1768), in which Boswell exhibits a penchant for blending epistolary finesse with travelogue. The book documents not only his friendship with Erskine through letters but also highlights his adventurous journey to Corsica, offering a unique glimpse of the island’s culture and political upheaval under the leadership of Pasquale Paoli. Boswell’s engaging prose and the vivid portrayal of his experiences resonate with readers, offering insight into the writer’s formative years that shaped his literary career. Known for his descriptive detail and authenticity, Boswell’s work continues to serve as a valuable resource for historians and literature enthusiasts, reflecting the mores and musings of 18th-century society.
