Contributions to Fraser's Magazine for Town and Country

In the final years of James Hogg’s life, Fraser’s Magazine for Town and Country became the most important outlet for his shorter writings, usurping the previous centrality of Blackwood’s Edinburgh Magazine. This volume collects for the first time his many and various contributions to the magazine and presents them in a reliable scholarly form, complete with a wide-ranging introduction, explanatory notes, appendices and glossary. Building on other volumes in The Stirling / South Carolina Research Edition, Contributions to Fraser’s Magazine highlights Hogg’s expansion into the London literary marketplace and his reception as a Scottish author south of the Tweed, as well as the beginnings of his posthumous memorialisation.
James Hogg was a Scottish poet, novelist and essayist who wrote in both Scots and English. He is best known for his novel The Private Memoirs and Confessions of a Justified Sinner.
