The Life of Samuel Johnson, LL.D., Including a Journal of His Tour to the Hebrides

Boswell i Holland 1763-1764

Boswell i Holland 1763-1764
I sommeren 1763 rejste den skotske adelsmand James Boswell til Holland, hvor han opholdt sig i knap et år. Året forinden havde Boswell været i London, hvor han var begyndt at skrive dagbog, og denne vane tog han med sig til Holland. "Boswell i Holland" ligger således i direkte forlængelse af hans "London dagbog", og den er interessant, både fordi den giver et indblik i livet i 1700-tallet, og fordi det er et stykke arbejde af meget høj litterær kvalitet. James Boswell (1740-1795) var en skotsk adelsmand, der for eftertiden er blevet kendt for sine meget omfattende dagbogsskriverier og for sin biografi om litteraten Samuel Johnson. Boswell begyndte at skrive dagbog, da han som ung mand opholdt sig i London i 1762-63, og han fortsatte resten af livet.
