James Boswell's Life of Johnson : an edition of the original manuscript in four volumes

Boswell, James, 1740-1795
Books, Manuscripts
This edition of Boswell's "Life of Johnson" details how Boswell's original words were changed during the publication process, and offers a fresh reading of Boswell's work. Marshall Waingrow charts the changes made during composition and at the proof stage, and corrects and explains the printer misreadings and author's errors which which crept into the final edition. This exhibition of the manuscript is a companion work to the standard scholarly edition of the ''Life of Johnson'', unknown as the ''Hill-Power'' version.
