James Boswell è rinomato principalmente per le sue biografie, in particolare per il suo acuto ritratto di Samuel Johnson, eppure i suoi stessi diari estesi rivelano una profonda osservazione personale e dettagli intimi. Questi scritti, scoperti molto tempo dopo la sua epoca, offrono vividi resoconti dei suoi viaggi e dei suoi incontri con le figure di spicco del suo tempo. L'approccio letterario di Boswell è caratterizzato da un occhio attento alla natura umana e alle dinamiche sociali, utilizzando spesso le sue osservazioni sugli altri per illuminare verità più ampie. La sua eredità di compagno e acuto osservatore è persino entrata nel linguaggio, riflettendo la sua capacità unica di catturare l'essenza di individui e conversazioni.
