A Queer Book

This collection of verse from the later stages of Hogg’s career includes some of his best known poems. The collection has not been published in its entirety since 1832 and this new edition removes a number of major corruptions that occur in the original edition. 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.
