SAMUEL JONSON VA JEYMS BOSUELNING SAYOHAT XOTIRALARI
This article examines the accounts of "Journey to the Western Isles of Scotland" by Samuel Johnson and "Journal of a Tour to the Hebrides" by James Boswell, two representatives of 18th-century English Enlightenment literature. As a result, the analysis revealed the uniqueness and typological aspects, form and content, as well as the artistic features of two works created on the basis of one joint journey. Johnson's travelogue is a collection of essays, while Boswell's is written in the form of a diary. The article concludes: Johnson regularly recorded his observations during his journey, and when describing historical sites and events, he strove for objectivity, relying on specific figures and facts. Boswell's work is presented from a different perspective, with the events of his travels described in the form of memoirs related to Johnson's personal life.
