Charles Rogers is a collection of literary anecdotes and personal reflections written in the late 18th century. This work compiles the thoughts and experiences of James Boswell, best known as the biographer of Dr. Samuel Johnson, revealing not only his insights into significant figures of his time but also his own complex character. The text aims to illuminate the sociocultural context of Scotland during this period. The opening of the work provides a prelude to Boswell's intentions behind maintaining his commonplace book, indicating that he aimed to use it as a foundation for a more comprehensive memoir. It sheds light on how Boswell documented not just his conversations with Johnson, but also his thoughts on life, literature, and the people he encountered. The compilation showcases Boswell's desire to capture the vibrancy of his experiences while interacting with notable intellectuals, presenting a rich tapestry of late 18th-century social discourse.
