James Hogg (1770-1835), known from his humble beginnings as the 'Ettrick Shepherd', is currently undergoing a critical reassessment. The exhibition will include a broad selection of Hogg’s writing as well as first editions of his most popular work Confessions of a Justified Sinner (1824), his widely read novel of diabolic haunting.
The James Hogg Exhibition at Bowhill has kindly loaned some of Hogg’s personal belongings and these will be displayed alongside literary material drawn from the extensive Hogg collection at Stirling University Library.
This exciting exhibition is the first to display such a breadth of Hogg’s literary talents revealing one of Scotland’s greatest nineteenth-century writers.
