书籍简介

1773年，詹姆斯-博斯韦尔与他的英国朋友塞缪尔-约翰逊一起进行了一次计划已久的穿越苏格兰高地的旅行；两人一起度过了100多天。他们的赫布里底群岛之行产生了两本书：《苏格兰西部岛屿之旅》（1775年），这是一种地方描述性的民族志，也是约翰逊在其莎士比亚版和《诗人传》之间重要的作品。另一本是博斯韦尔的《与塞缪尔-约翰逊的希伯来群岛之旅》(1785)，这是一部尝试传记的旅行叙事作品，是他在《塞缪尔-约翰逊的生活》(1791)中使用的技术。

这两部作品形成了一对自然的组合，由于它们涵盖了许多相同的材料，因此经常被放在一起阅读，重点是苏格兰高地。

该文本呈现了两部作品的轻度编辑版本，保留了原有的正字法，并纠正了排版错误，以适应现代语法标准。

引言和注释对约翰逊和博斯韦尔各自的职业生涯、他们的友谊和宏大的传记项目进行了清晰而简洁的解释。该书还研究了苏格兰启蒙运动期间英格兰和苏格兰的地位，直到王室联合，以及雅各布派的情况。

In 1773, James Boswell made a long-planned journey across the Scottish Highlands with his English friend Samuel Johnson; the two spent more than a hundred days together. Their tour of the Hebrides resulted in two books, A Journey to the Western Islands of Scotland (1775), a kind of locodescriptive ethnography and Johnson's most important work between his Shakespeare edition and his Lives of the Poets. The other, Boswell's Journal of a Tour to

the Hebrides with Samuel Johnson (1785), a travel narrative experimenting with biography, the first application of the techniques he would use in his Life of Samuel Johnson (1791).

These two works form a natural pair and, owing that they cover much of the same material, are often read together, focusing on the Scottish highlands.

The text presents a lightly-edited version of both works, preserving the original orthography and corrected typographical errors to fit modern grammar standards.

The introduction and notes provide clear and concise explanations on Johnson and Boswell's respective careers, their friendship and grand biographical projects. It also examines the Scottish Enlightenment, the status of England and Scotland during the Reformation through to the Union of the Crowns, and the Jacobite

作者简介

塞缪尔-约翰逊（1709年9月18日-1784年12月13日），通常被称为约翰逊博士，是一位英国作家，作为诗人、剧作家、散文家、道德家、评论家、传记作家、编辑和词典编纂者做出了持久的贡献。他是一个虔诚的英国圣公会教徒，也是一个坚定的保守党人。《牛津国家传记词典》称他是 "可以说是英国历史上杰出的文学家"。詹姆斯-博斯韦尔的《塞缪尔-约翰逊传》被沃尔特-杰克逊-贝特选为 "整个文学史上有名的单一传记艺术作品"。

Samuel Johnson (18 September 1709 – 13 December 1784), often called Dr Johnson, was an English writer who made lasting contributions as a poet, playwright, essayist, moralist, critic, biographer, editor and lexicographer. He was a devout Anglican, and a committed Tory. The Oxford Dictionary of National Biography calls him "arguably the most distinguished man of letters in English history". James Boswell's Life of Samuel Johnson was selected by Walter Jackson Bate as "the most famous single work of biographical art in the whole of literature".
