| Summary | "Boswell the Biographer" by George Mallory is a biographical examination written in the early 20th century. This work delves into the character and psychological profile of James Boswell, particularly in relation to his renowned biography of Samuel Johnson, rather than providing a complete life account of Boswell himself. The book likely appeals to readers interested in literary history and the complexities of human relationships as it unpacks the nuances of Boswell's life and his enduring legacy as a biographer. The opening of the text discusses Boswell's unique standing in biographical literature, specifically highlighting the unmatched nature of his "Life of Johnson." Mallory states that the enduring appeal of Boswell's biography stems not only from its rich portrayal of Johnson but also from the vividness of Boswell's own character, which draws readers from various backgrounds. Through detailed references to Boswell's upbringing, early literary ambitions, and complex relationships, particularly with his father and peers, it sets the stage for a deeper exploration of how these elements shaped his eventual legacy as a biographer and a notable literary figure. The text establishes a foundation for analyzing Boswell's genius, his profound awareness of his own persona, and how these aspects contributed to his artistic output.
