What reading level is Boswell the Biographer book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Yet certainly it was not meant for caricature, for his heart, almost even to idolatry, was in his reverence for Dr. Johnson.^ It is a curious and striking picture, and we may gather that there was always something odd and laughable, and yet rather lamentable, about Boswell's appearance. The effect of imitation he seems some- times half-conscious of producing, from the care with which he accentuates in the * Life ' and the ' Tour ' any point of difference between Dr. Johnson and himself. But it ...must be remembered that Miss Burney's account is an account of particular circum- stances — the company was a large one, and not an inner circle of more intimate friends of Boswell and Johnson. We have no reason to suppose that Boswell's behaviour, particularly his behaviour apart from Dr. Johnson, was greatly affected by this strange homage to his friend.
It is clear in any case that affectation, however ^ Diary of Madame D'Arblay, i, p. 509.
LITERARY SENTIMENTALITY 193 much it may have taken a Johnsonian foron, was fundamental in Boswell's character ; for we can see it plainly before the date of that eventful meeting.
