Описание: Edinburgh-born James Boswell, at 22, kept a daily diary of his eventful second stay in London from 1762 to 1763. This journal presents a record of adventures ranging from his recounted love affair with a Covent Garden actress to his first amusingly bruising meeting with Samuel Johnson, to whom Boswell would later become both friend and biographer.
Описание: Book by Samuel Johnson, published in 1775. The Journey was the result of a three-month trip to Scotland that Johnson took with James Boswell in 1773. It contains Johnson's descriptions of the customs, religion, education, trade, and agriculture of a society that was new to him.
The account in Boswell's diary, published after Johnson's death as The Journal of a Tour to the Hebrides, with Samuel Johnson, LL.D. (1785), offers an intimate personal record of Johnson's behavior and conversation during the trip.
Описание: The Wallace Effect explores David Foster Wallace’s contested space at the forefront of 21st-century American fiction. Pioneering Wallace scholar Marshall Boswell does this by illuminating “The Wallace Effect”—the aura of literary competition that Wallace routinely summoned in his fiction and non-fiction and that continues to inform the reception of his work by his contemporaries. A frankly combative writer, Wallace openly challenged his artistic predecessors as he sought to establish himself as the leading literary figure of the post-postmodern turn. Boswell challenges this portrait in two ways. First, he examines novels by Wallace’s literary patriarchs and contemporaries that introduce innovations on traditional metafiction that Wallace would later claim as his own. Second, he explores four novels published after Wallace’s ascendency that attempt to demythologize Wallace’s persona and his literary preeminence. By re-situating Wallace’s work in a broader and more contentious literary arena, The Wallace Effect traces both the reach and the limits of Wallace’s legacy.

Описание: Boswell and Johnson are two names that may well be placed together: a great artist and his great subject; indeed the name of the one ever recalls that of the other. If Boswell owes all the permanency of his fame to Johnson, Johnson owes not a little of his to Boswell. The finest and the wisest table-talk that English literature possesses has been preserved by the faithfullest and ablest of chroniclers. This volume attempts no new life of either. The author’s aim has been to accomplish a pleasant and instructive picture of the great man of the Eighteenth Century – of his mind, his manners, his habits – his intercourse with, and influence upon, his friends, his companions, and his contemporaries.

Описание:
In South Africa issues of identity remain a pressing concern and preoccupation. For some, the experience of feeling that one does not belong in South Africa, especially among Africans and African descendants, appears to be intensifying. In this first collection of poems, Rosabelle Boswell speaks of the many places in which ordinary Africans born outside of South Africa try to achieve belonging. They do so in the family context, the backyard, language, the meeting, familiar landscapes and dreams. The poems also foreground the tumult of emotions that rise from the experience of exclusion and the results of pressure when one must conform. There is panic and dislocation, desperation, fear and sense of marginality when one's work and achievements are reduced to whether one is born in South Africa or not. According to the poet, in such a context, one can only achieve true freedom from the tyranny of belonging by psychologically walking away from the expectations of those in power and putting oneself in a 'clearing' where flexibility, openness and newness reside. The forest of expectations remains, but we can achieve temporary respite from it by walking away now and again. The collection spans two years of writing identity in a different form, poetry.
