James Hogg

    December 9, 1770 – November 21, 1835

    James Hogg, known as the "Ettrick Shepherd," was a Scottish poet and novelist who wrote in both Scots and English. His work often delves into the darker aspects of human psychology, exploring themes of faith, obsession, and the supernatural with a unique blend of Gothic intensity and folk sensibility. Hogg's narrative style frequently employs unreliable narrators and a sharp, often satirical wit, drawing readers into complex explorations of belief and delusion. His distinctive voice and imaginative storytelling secure his place as a significant figure in Scottish literature.
