About this ebook
Gathers together Hogg''s writing for magazines beyond Scotland
Beginning with the short story ''The Long Pack'', first published in a London miscellany in 1809, and concluding with ''The Rose of Plora'', a poem printed posthumously in a New York eclectic magazine in 1841, the collection spans the full period of Hogg''s life as a professional writer. Several pieces are reprinted in this book for the first time.
A detailed introduction explores Hogg''s complex relationship to the periodicals market in Scotland and overseas, while an extensive Appendix records the many hundreds of reprints of his work in newspapers and magazines around the world. Each text is introduced and fully annotated, and its publication history accounted for. A glossary aids readers unfamiliar with the Scots language.
