May 16, 1763 is the day English poet, essayist, moralist, literary critic Samuel Johnson first sat down in collaboration with James Boswell in London. Boswell would go on to write the “Life of Samuel Johnson, a biography". The book has become the standard by which the modern biography would be measured and was hailed by critic Harold Bloom “as the greatest biography written in the English language.
As Johnson was both a literary scholar and critic, he would have enjoyed this designation immensely.
James Boswell was a mere 22 years old when he first met with Johnson. The book would not be published until 1791 when he was 50. Boswell died four years later in 1795.
Biographer’s Day marks the anniversary of this first meeting between Johnson and Boswell. It is a tribute to all biographers, living and dead.
