The Spy: A Periodical Paper of Literary Amusement and Instruction: Collected Works of James Hogg

Autor James Hogg
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 4 mai 2000 – vârsta de la 22 ani

Hogg's extremely rare periodical of 1810-11 shows him reacting to the writers, personalities and locales of Scotland's capital city after his move to Edinburgh from Ettrick and his career change from shepherd and farmer to professional author. His characteristically astute and idiosyncratic vision reveals a rather different city from that of Walter Scott and Francis Jeffrey, and his band of contributors from another audience for his work than the middle class Tories associated with the later Blackwood's Edinburgh Magazine. The Spy includes early versions of some of Hogg's best-known poetry and prose besides a wealth of fascinating lesser-known material. This is the first edition of The Spy since the original edition of 1810-11 was published, and offers a carefully constructed text, full of annotation, notes on Hogg's contributors to his papers, and a history of its making. It represents an advance in our knowledge both of Hogg's early writing career and of the city he encountered early in the nineteenth century.
