Hogg's involvement with song collecting and writing spans the whole
of his career, from the early 1800s until the early 1830s, and
examples are found across all genres of his work - fiction, drama,
poetry and in a number of important musical publications. His 1831
collection entitled Songs by the Ettrick Shepherd came about as an
attempt to better his difficult financial situation, and is of
particular interest and significance. It was published towards the
end of his career, and it provides his own retrospective
presentation of his lifetime achievement as a song-writer. This
critical edition of Hogg's volume makes his songs accessible for
the first time. The layout mirrors the original volume which
contained 'head notes' by Hogg himself. These notes provide a great
deal of factual, biographical and anecdotal information which
proves vitally important to our understanding of the development of
his role as a song writer and collector. Alongside the text of
Songs from 1831, this edition will contain an introduction
discussing Hogg's role as a song writer and collector and a
detailed account of the creation of the original manuscript.
