	James Hogg - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		James Hogg (1770 - November 21, 1835) was a Scottish poet and novelist.
		Hogg was born on a farm near Ettrick Forest in Selkirkshire and baptized there on December 9.
		Hogg had already made his reputation as a prose writer with a practical treatise on sheep's diseases; and in 1824 his novel, The Private Memoirs and Confessions of a Justified Sinner, was another major success.

	James Hogg
		James Hogg was in his element, but next morning felt it prudent to pen an apology to his host: ‘I am afraid that I was at least half seas over last night, for I cannot for my life remember what passed when it was late...
		Hogg, who was so delighted with "Tam O’Shanter" that he quickly learned every line by heart, had now full proof that there was still higher poetry than his own, and a better poet than himself; and his whole enthusiasm thenceforth was to become the rival, or at least the worthy successor of Robert Burns.
		Hogg, in his own vindication, has told us that the "Brownie of Bodsbeck" was written considerably prior to the publication of "Old Mortality," and might have appeared a year before the latter, but for the obstinacy of the publisher, whose taste it did not happen to suit.

		James Hogg is known as The Ettrick Shepherd and is one of the most unlikely literary figures to emerge from Scotland's past.
		By the age of 15 James Hogg, by now a shepherd, had taught himself to read and write and to play the fiddle, and was beginning to make a name for himself as a singer of traditional ballards and reciter of the rich folklore of the Scottish Borders.
		Hogg was later introduced by Scott to the literary circles of Edinburgh.

		Next to Burns, by far the most considerable poet of humble birth was James Hogg, the Ettrick shepherd; and, though, in richness of natural endowments, he is not to be compared to Burns, his poetic career was, in some respects, more astonishing.
		His record, in his autobiography, of how he became the poet that he was, is a plain and simple statement of unexaggerated fact; but it reads almost like a sheerly impossible romance.
		The wide difference in the individualities of Burns and Hogg is shown in their relations with Edinburgh.

	Sir Walter Scott and James Hogg, the Ettrick Shepherd
		A study of the relationship between Sir Walter Scott and James Hogg (1770-1835), the Ettrick Shepherd, is important in the light of the recent belated recognition of Hogg as a major Scottish writer.
		Hogg was born in 1770 in the parish of Ettrick, a remote and isolated community.
		Hogg cut a rough figure among the Edinburgh intelligentsia, much in the same way as Burns must have done a generation before, though Hogg was never to achieve the latter's reputation during his lifetime.

		James Hogg (1770-1835), known as 'The Ettrick Shepherd', was widely regarded in his own lifetime as one of the major British literary figures of the generation of Scott, Coleridge, and Wordsworth.
		Hogg's substantial reputation among his contemporaries had first been established by his book-length poem The Queen's Wake (1813), but the nature of his fame was influenced by the fact that, as a young man, he had been a self-educated farm worker in Ettrick Forest, a remote sheep-farming district in the south of Scotland.
		Hogg's manuscripts survive for both versions of his anecdotes of Scott, and Professor Rubenstein has returned to these manuscripts to provide the basis of her new edition of Hogg's two accounts of his long friendship with Scott, a friendship between two of the major figures of British writing of the Romantic era.

	Guardian Unlimited Books \| Review \| The double man
		James Hogg, the "Ettrick Shepherd", was admired by Byron, who considered him "a strange being, but of great, though uncouth, powers", adding to Thomas Moore that he thought very highly of him as a poet.
		Hogg did indeed write some good poetry and a lot of pretty bad verse as well, though his greatest work was his novel, The Private Memoirs and Confessions of a Justified Sinner, which was published shortly after Byron's death.
		Hogg was full of such contradictions and conflicts - "a devotee", writes Miller, "both of war and peace, of animals and of their destruction, of truth and of lies, openness and disguise, of reason and imagination, simplicity and sophistication, chastity and license".

	The Literary Gothic \| James Hogg
		Scottish poet, novelist, and short-story writer, Hogg (known in his day as "the Ettrick Shepherd") is in some ways representative of the Romantic phenomenon of the "natural poet," a self-taught writer thought to represent a "naive" or uncorrupted human perspective.
		While indeed self-taught (Hogg was largely illiterate until he was in his early twenties), Hogg's literary achievements belie some of the stereotypes associated with him.
