What tone do these lines convey?
- B. a conversational and inquisitive tone
James Boswell has generally been regarded as a key figure in the evolution of the biography
via his work on Samuel Johnson. Ranging over his public, published writing, his private-public
unpublished journal writing (read by his friend John Johnston), and his private-private
unpublished writing (his personal journals) this thesis sets out to address how he should also
be seen as a travelogue writer of note. The most important contention is that the rise of Boswell
as a travel writer is key to understanding his prowess as an auto/biographical writer – with the
topography of the man-monument central. The principal aim is to stress that he was ‘Corsica
Boswell’ long before he was ‘Johnson Boswell’. there you go!
