Description: This first complete reprint of Boswell's book on Corsica since the eighteenth century contains both parts of the original text, comprehensive annotation, textual apparatus, and a critical introduction. These contextualize the Corsican issue, underline its significance as a forerunner of the American and French revolutions, and reveal fresh aspects of Boswell the writer.

Review Quotes: "Boulton and McLoughlin are skilled textual editors, and they deliver a clean well-annotated text with a useful but unobtrusive scholarly apparatusAn especially valuable aspect of this edition is its Introduction. Clearly written, it fully but concisely offers a wealth of helpful information for the reader coming to Corsica for the first timeBoulton and McLoughlin's Corsica constitutes an important and much needed contribution to the Boswell canon."--The Eighteenth-Century News
