"I was born an outcast in the world, in which I was destined to act so conspicuous a part. My mother was a burning and a shining light. But she was married to a man all over spotted with the leprosy of sin. She fled from his embraces the first night after their marriage. . . ." James Hogg wrote about the supernatural powerfully and convincingly, especially in his best-known novel, The Private Memoirs and Confessions of a Justified Sinner, published in 1824; it has been called "the greatest of all Scottish novels."

Autorenporträt
James Hogg (1770-1835) was a Scottish writer and poet, renowned for his vivid portrayals of Scottish life and folklore. Often referred to as "The Ettrick Shepherd," Hogg was born in the Ettrick Valley of the Scottish Borders, a region that profoundly influenced his literary work. His early life as a shepherd in this picturesque and rugged landscape provided him with a deep connection to the rural traditions and oral storytelling of Scotland. Hogg's literary career spanned poetry, novels, and essays, and he is best known for his rich narratives and distinctive voice. His most celebrated work, The Private Memoirs and Confessions of a Justified Sinner, is a seminal piece in Scottish literature, blending psychological depth with supernatural elements. Hogg's writings often explore themes of war, romance, and superstition, reflecting the cultural and social dynamics of his time. His work, including The Three Perils Of Man; Or, War, Women, And Witchcraft, illustrates his fascination with Scottish history and folklore, and his ability to infuse historical romance with complex characters and dramatic plots. Despite facing critical and commercial challenges during his lifetime, Hogg's contributions to literature remain influential and celebrated for their authenticity and narrative skill.
