Biography
Hogg was born in a farm near Ettrick Forest in Selkirk and
In 1801, Hogg visited
It was through Blackwood's that Hogg found fame, although it was not the sort that he wanted. Launched as a counter-blast to the Whig "
The Shepherd of the Noctes is an extraordinary creation, part-animal, part-rural simpleton, part-savant, easily the most memorable character in the series, who speaks some of the richest and saltiest Scots ever written. He became one of the best-known figures in topical literary affairs, famous throughout Britain and its colonies. Quite what the real James Hogg made of this is mostly unknown, although some of his letters to Blackwood and others express outrage and anguish. What is known is that in 1824, no longer highly regarded in Edinburgh, largely excluded from "Blackwood's", now in his fifties but with a young family, and writing desperately quickly for money to try to save his failing farm, Hogg wrote his famous tale of persecution, delusion, devilish mimickry and tortured consciousness: "

The bulk of Hogg's writing was bowdlerised in the 19th century and neglected for most of the 20th. Apart from "The Confessions", which even his detractors acknowledged as unusually powerful (and often attributed to someone else, usually Lockhart), his novels were regarded as turgid, his verse as light, his short tales and articles as ephemera. But growing interest in "The Confessions" led to the rediscovery and reconsideration of his other work in the late 20th and early 21st centuries. Now his novel "The Three Perils of Woman" is also considered a classic and all his work, including his letters, is undergoing major publication in the Stirling/Carolina editions. However, "Justified Sinner" remains his most important work and is now seen as one of the major Scottish novels of its time, and absolutely crucial in terms of exploring one of the key themes of Scottish culture and identity:
