- W2493463386 abstract "Despite the massive scholarly enterprise of the Yale Boswell, and the large initial sales of Boswell’s London Journal, his most salacious piece of self-representation, following its first appearance in 1951, Boswell’s reputation still rests to a very great extent on the Life of Johnson (1791). The fate of that reputation is encapsulated in the small space of a noun and a verb, a ‘Boswell’ being an admiring amanuensis and to ‘Boswellize’ being to memorialize someone, implicitly with an air of eulogy. It is the fate of Boswell’s artistry to have passed into the language as characteristic of the efforts of the flattering admirer, even to the extent of being an eavesdropper who invaded the privacy of his subject. Perhaps Boswell can now never be entirely free of this weight of association: at any rate, it remains difficult to clear him from the decay of ‘Boswell’ from the proper name of an individuated artist into the verb and noun descriptive of a process, which appears transparent because it is assumed to be replicable. The very use of ‘Boswell’ as a verb suggests an active process available to all, not a historic artistic achievement which is unique. By passing into the language, Boswell has become the antithesis of the image of Romantic artist, and his very presence in the terms often restricted to mass production (‘to google’,‘a kodak’, ‘a Boswell’, ‘to Boswellize’) implies an assumption of the Life as a replicable process, not a unique event." @default.
