The Collected Works of JAMES HOGG Founding General Editor: Douglas S. Mack General Editors: Ian Duncan and Suzanne Gilbert 'Simple congratulations are in order at the outset, to the editors and publisher [...] of the projected Collected Works of James Hogg. It has taken a long time for Hogg to be recognised as one of the most notable Scottish writers, and it can fairly be said that the process of getting him into full and clear focus is still far from complete. That process is immeasurably helped by the provision of proper and unbowdlerised texts (in many cases for the first time), and in this the ongoing Collected Works will be a milestone [...] we have an author of unique interest, force, and originality.' Edwin Morgan, Scottish Literary Journal 'Edinburgh University Press are also to be praised for the elegant presentation of the books. It is wonderful that at last we are going to have a collected edition of this important author without bowdlerisation or linguistic interference [...]. These books of Hogg have been wonderfully presented and edited. Hogg's own idiosyncratic style has been left untouched.' Ian Crichton Smith, Studies in Scottish Literature 'It may take some time, but when the current Collected Works reaches its culmination, Hogg's great novel should seem a little less oddly unique, and some other astounding books [...] may receive their share of belated glory.' Liam McIllvanney, London Review of Books '[T]he Stirling/South Carolina edition of Hogg's works is proving one of the major scholarly publishing events of the decade.' Penny Fielding, Studies in Hogg and his World 'A quiet revolution in Scottish literary studies has been going on over the past 10 years. The Stirling/South Carolina research edition of the collected works of James Hogg has been steadily forcing a reassessment of one of our best-known but least-read authors.' James Robertson, The Herald
