Discuss the main features of Boswell’s biographical art as employed in Life of Johnson.

The Life of Samuel Johnson, written by James Boswell, is widely regarded as one of the greatest biographies in the English language. Boswell's approach to biographical writing is characterized by a number of distinctive features that set it apart from earlier biographical works and have influenced the genre to this day. In this essay, I will discuss the main features of Boswell's biographical art as employed in Life of Johnson.

One of the most significant features of Boswell's biography is his emphasis on the individuality of his subject. Boswell presents Johnson as a complex and multi-faceted character, with a wealth of quirks and idiosyncrasies that make him unique. He doesn't shy away from Johnson's flaws or eccentricities but instead presents them in a way that makes them endearing rather than off-putting. This focus on the individuality of his subject sets Boswell's work apart from earlier biographical works, which tended to present their subjects in a more idealized or sanitized way.
