Homer is not more decidedly the first of Heroic poets, Shakespeare is not more decidedly the first of dramatists, Demosthenes is not more decidedly the first of
orators
, than Boswell is the first of biographers. He has no second.
Босуэлл в такой же мере заслуживает звания первого среди биографов, в какой Гомер — первого среди эпических поэтов, Демосфен — первого среди ораторов, а Шекспир — первого среди драматургов. Второго такого нет.
(T. Macaulay)
