PANTHER, 1961. Paperback. Mass Market Paperback in Good+ condition. A solid binding with an unmarked text, age tanning to the pages and light spine creasing. " The text of this complete and unabridged edition is that of the 1791 first edition, and it remains, by common consent, the greatest biography in the English language. Johnson's centrality in 18th century letters is established not only by Boswell's record of his life and conversations, but also by the success of the work in placing him in a literary and cultural context. James Boswell (1740-95) was educated at Edinburgh and Glasgow universities as a lawyer. He moved to London in 1760, and was by turns a libertine and a Puritan. Introduced by his friends Sheridan and Garrick, Boswell met Johnson in 1763, and discovered a life's calling. "; 16mo 6" - 7" tall; 320 pages. Very Good .
