Life of Johnson, by Boswell was published in 1791, and it remains one of the best biographies ever written. It is a compilation of letters, journals, memoirs and extracts of other works. It presents the personality of the author, his profound ideas and his ideology of life. Even the most negligible detail about the dressing and the life style of Johnson is given in a humorous and subtle manner. The literary society of England at the time is also reflected through the work. James Boswell said that "Men are wise in proportion, not to their experience, but to their capacity for experience." Boswell was a Scottish author, diarist, and lawyer who is best known as the biographer of Samuel Johnson. He was active in the movement to abolish slavery. Johnson's later life was plagued by alcoholism and gambling addiction, but his travel journals were successful, and his biography of Johnson is a vivid portrait that has been called the greatest biography ever written.
