James Hogg is one of the acknowledged masters of the short story.
Some of his best stories appeared in The Shepherd's Calendar, a
work of the 1820s in which he sets out to re-create on paper the
manner and the content of the traditional oral storytelling of
Ettrick Forest, the remote and mountainous sheep-farming district
in which he grew up. Like Hogg's masterpiece The Private Memoirs
and Confessions of a Justified Sinner, several of the stories from
The Shepherd's Calendar deal disturbingly and hauntingly with the
supernatural, and explore psychological depths with a remarkable
insight and intensity. The Shepherd's Calendar also draws on Hogg's
experiences as a young shepherd in the 1790s as it produces a
convincing and very human picture of the dangers, the pleasures,
and the tensions of the lives of the rural poor in Scotland in the
years that followed the French Revolution. This paperback is based
on the acclaimed hardback edition of The Shepherd's Calendar for
the Stirling / South Carolina Collected Works of James Hogg
(Edinburgh University Press, 1995).
