Drawing on everything Johnson and Boswell wrote to and about the other, this book charts the psychological currents that flowed between them as they scripted and directed their time together, questioned and advised, confided and held back. It explores the key longings and shifting tensions that distinguished this from each man's other long-term friendships, while it tracks in detail how Johnson and Boswell brought each other to life, challenged and confirmed each other, and used their deepening friendship to define and assess themselves. It tells a story that reaches through its specificity into the dynamics of most sustained friendships, with their breaks and reconnections, their silences and fresh intimacies, their continuities and transformations. 606 $aAuthors, English$y18th century$vBiography 606 $aAuthors, American$y19th century$vBiography 615 0$aAuthors, English 615 0$aAuthors, American 676 $a828/.609 676 $aB 700 $aRadner$b John B$0291584 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910827562003321 996 $aJohnson and Boswell$94088077 997 $aUNINA
