James Boswell staat vooral bekend om zijn biografieën, met name zijn scherpe portrettering van Samuel Johnson, maar zijn eigen uitgebreide dagboeken onthullen een diepe persoonlijke observatie en intieme details. Deze geschriften, lang na zijn tijd ontdekt, bieden levendige verslagen van zijn reizen en zijn ontmoetingen met prominente figuren uit zijn tijd. Boswells literaire benadering wordt gekenmerkt door een scherp oog voor menselijke aard en sociale dynamiek, waarbij hij vaak zijn observaties van anderen gebruikt om bredere waarheden te belichten. Zijn nalatenschap als gezelschap en scherp observator is zelfs in de taal opgenomen, wat zijn unieke vermogen weerspiegelt om de essentie van individuen en gesprekken vast te leggen.
