A fully annotated Research Edition volume of James Boswell's journals
This book develops the idea of democratic mending as a way of advancing a more connective and systemic approach to democratic repair.
James Boswell's relish for life, unflinching honesty and wide social contacts make him one of the raciest and most entertaining of all diarists. This is a new edition of the journals he kept while making his living as an advocate in eighteenth-century Edinburgh. Hugh Milne's introduction and notes remove the barriers that time has placed between Boswell and ourselves. The result is a book in which an extraordinary personality lives before us upon the page.
