The Heart of Boswell

Abridges the first six volumes of the Yale series. Here we follow Boswell to the completion of those tasks he had more or less assigned to himself: to meet Mr. Johnson, to study law, to vie with his father, to travel over Europe, to confront M. Rousseau, to confront M. Voltaire, to rescue Corsica, to become a published author, and to find a wife. These events carry Boswell through twelves years of his life.
