Produktbeschreibung

This volume is part of the Stirling edition of the complete works of James Hogg. After 100 years of relative obscurity, James Hogg (1770-1835) is now considered to be one of Scotland's major writers. This edition of his works results from 15 years of academic research into Hogg's first manuscripts, proofs and early editions. Each volume includes a full introduction, explanatory notes and commentary.

"The Three Perils of Woman" is essentially a combination of two stories on similar themes, one set in Highlands following the Battle of Culloden and the other in Hogg's Edinburgh. Readers were shocked by its treatment of such delicate matters as prostitution and venereal disease. Last printed in the 1820s, this new edition puts it squarely back into mainstream of Scottish literature.
