Описание: James Hogg (1770-1835) was a Scottish poet, novelist and essayist who wrote in both Scots and English. As a young man he worked as a shepherd and farmhand and was largely self-educated through reading. He became a friend of many of the great writers of his day, including Sir Walter Scott of whom he later wrote an unauthorised biography. He was widely known as Ettrick Shepherd, a nickname under wihich some of his works were published, and the character name he was given in the widely read series Noctes Abrosianae published in Blackwood's Magazine. This work was first published anonymously in 1824, the first edition selling very poorly, and it continued to suffer critical neglect throughout the 19th century. However, during the 20th century it won greater critical attention and was praised by Andre Gide in his introduction to the 1947 reissue. The book has been considered by turns part gothic novel, part psychological mystery, part satire and part case study of totalitarian thought, and has also been thought of as an early example of modern crime fiction in which the story is told for the most part from the point of view of its criminal anti-hero.
Retracing Hogg's remarkable journeys in the 21st century
James Hogg, also known as the Ettrick Shepherd, was a writer, poet, sportsman, musician and larger-than-life personality. In 1802, uneducated and still unknown, he set out on the first of a series of journeys through Scotland, from the Borders to the Highlands and Hebrides. The journeys were inspiring, life-changing and often frightening. They led him to a life of chaos, failures, fame, fun and literary masterpieces.
Now, a descendant follows his footsteps and reflects on his experiences, and on the remarkable rediscovery of Hogg's works a century after his death. It is a story of tenacity, of daring to be different and, against all odds, success and a flourishing legacy. It is a lively look at an extraordinary life and some of his works, including Confessions of a Justified Sinner, considered by many to be one of the greatest novels ever written.
Bruce Gilkison, a New Zealander and a great-great-grandson of Hogg's, walked through Scotland to discover what was special about him and his journeys. Like Hogg, he had no idea where these travels might lead. He found a world of stunning landscapes, fairies and mystery, genius and ambiguity, friendships and back-stabbings, and learnt about his flawed, lovable and eccentric ancestor.
