Book Description
This is the second volume of the annotated transcription of James Boswell's manuscript of The Life of Johnson, with its numerous complex revisions and wide array of supplementary materials. The transcription covers the period from 1766, when Boswell returned to Scotland after his eventful Grand Tour and then renewed his friendship with Johnson in London, to 1776, when the two traveled together to Oxford and the English Midlands, visiting scenes of Johnson's youth. In this decade the personal bonds of friendship between Boswell and Johnson grew stronger, as did their biographical partnership.The volume records all substantive changes Boswell made in the process of composition, restores lost or deleted material, and identifies compositors and other errors. It documents Boswell's compositional selections and processes at every stage, showing how his compelling -- and still controversial -- view of Johnson emerged.

Book Description
James Boswell's 'Life of Johnson', An Edition of the Original Manuscript, in Four Volumes; Vol. 4: 1780-1784 This volume is the final in the Yale Boswell Editions' manuscript edition of the Life of Johnson, a four-volume sequence designed to stand as a research supplement to the Hill-Powell version of the Life. The first volume, edited by Marshall Waingrow and covering the years 1709-1765, appeared in 1994, and the second, 1766-1776, edited by Bruce Redford with Elizabeth Goldring, in 1998. The third, 1776-1780, edited by Thomas F. Bonnell was published in 2012. This fourth volume traces Boswell's processes of composition from first draft to final publication. It restores much deleted material and passages lost or overlooked at proof and revision stage. It also corrects a host of errors--from compositorial to misreadings--that have stood in all editions of Boswell's biographical masterwork. Thomas Bonnell's annotation clarifies a range of textual issues, and sheds revealing light on Boswell's processes of selection and deletion.
