Description
Well-known throughout the English-speaking world of the early nineteenth century, Hogg (1770-1835) was one of Scotland's greatest writers. ""Before the Victorian era, when his work was bowdlerized and suppressed, Hogg was a leading literary figure noted for his rustic, full-blooded style. (Byron called him `rough but racy and welcome'). This...reintroduces his work, which though tame by today's standards, is remarkably modern and by turns amusing and thought-provoking...Groves provides an excellent introduction and a handy Scots glossary.""--Publishers Weekly.
