The Journal of a Tour to the Hebrides with Samuel Johnson, LL.DGood Press, 21.11.2019 - 353 Seiten Take a journey through the Scottish highlands and islands with literary giants James Boswell and Samuel Johnson in 'The Journal of a Tour to the Hebrides'. This 18th-century travel journal provides a detailed account of the duo's adventures as they explore the rugged landscape, visit historic sites, and encounter colorful characters along the way. Johnson's skepticism about the authenticity of popular Ossianic poetry sparks debate and criticism, while Boswell's keen eye for detail and lively anecdotes bring the journey to life. This book serves as a prelude to Boswell's famous biography, 'The Life of Samuel Johnson', and stands the test of time as a captivating and insightful read. |
