Long before becoming famous as the biographer of Samuel Johnson, Boswell recorded his ambitions, friendships, romantic adventures and efforts to establish himself within fashionable London society. Remarkably frank and energetic, the journal gives an intimate picture of eighteenth-century life, from theatres and taverns to literary gatherings and personal encounters.
