Although portrayed as the 'boozing buffoon' of Blackwood's
Edinburgh Magazine, Hogg (both as the celebrated Ettrick Shepherd
and anonymously) was a key contributor of songs, narrative poems,
tales, and reviews to the liveliest of all early nineteenth-century
periodicals. The present volume includes several items hitherto
published only in Blackwood's, and ranges from the infamous
'Chaldee Manuscript' to newly-identified items such as a Scottish
commemoration of the coronation of George IV. The volume also
includes works Hogg intended for Blackwood's but which are now
published for the first time. Hogg's work for his favourite
periodical is provided in this volume in full cultural context,
including detailed annotation and a convenient and complete
editorial apparatus. Also included is music for several of the
Shepherd's songs.
