Language and Logos in Bosell's <i>Life of Johnson</i> [Paperback]

In this deconstructionist interpretation of a major eighteenth-century work, William Dowling analyzes Boswell's Life of Johnson as a paradigm of antithetical structure in narrative, and develops a grammar of discontinuity for interpreting other texts as well.

Originally published in 1981.
