Reviews

“Paul Tankard illuminates not only neglected corners of Boswell’s interests and career, but the wider journalistic culture of late eighteenth-century Britain, bringing to new attention the topics, habits, and reading practices of its lively world of print media.”—Gordon Turnbull, General Editor, The Yale Editions of the Private Papers of James Boswell
*Gordon Turnbull*

"Complementing the Yale editions of Boswell’s private papers, Tankard’s collection of Boswell’s public journalism makes a brilliant addition to the Boswell canon that illuminates his remarkable liveliness, inventiveness, and versatility."—Robert DeMaria, Jr., Vassar College
