Valentina Bold sheds new light on Scottish poet James Hogg (1770-1835), going beyond the 'Ettrick Shepherd' stereotype. By focussing on Hogg's poetry it shows that his work, and the critical response to it, was significantly shaped by the concept of the autodidact: a working class writer who was considered to be a poet of 'nature's making'.
