On May 16, 1763, English poet, essayist, moralist, and 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."
Johnson would have enjoyed this designation immensely as a literary scholar and critic.
James Boswell was a mere 22 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 The book would not be published until 1791, when he was 50.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 the first meeting between Johnson and Boswell. It is a tribute to all biographers, living and dead.
