James Hogg (1770–1835), often referred to as 'The Ettrick Shepherd', was a Scottish poet and novelist who rose from humble pastoral origins to become one of the more intriguing literary figures of his time. Hogg's rustic upbringing in the Scottish Borders undeniably left a significant imprint on his oeuvre, a collection evocatively assembled in 'The Collected Works of James Hogg.' Drawing extensively from his intimate understanding of rural life and Scottish folklore, Hogg's narratives are often marked by a penchant for the supernatural and the psychological, exploring themes of identity, morality, and existential angst (Duncan, 2004; Mack, 1983). His most famous novel, 'The Private Memoirs and Confessions of a Justified Sinner' (1824), embodies this blend and is lauded for its early exploration of the doppelgänger theme and its insightful foray into narrative unreliability and religious fanaticism. The work has cast a long shadow over both Gothic literature and the psychological novel, drawing scholarly comparisons with the writings of Stevenson and Poe. In Hogg's literary style, there is a notable duality: a lyrical trace of his spoken Scots embedded within the deft command of Standard English, which allows for a transcendent rural authenticity (Mack, 1983). This curation of local dialect and myth with sophisticated literary craftsmanship earned Hogg not just a regional but a lasting literary significance, as evidenced by the continued study and enjoyment of his works in the present day.
