Overview

This volume brings together Hogg's first collection of poetry, Scottish Pastorals, published as a pamphlet 1801, with his first published poem, 'The Mistakes of a Night' (1794) - an energetically rumbustious tale of rural courtship - and his 'Letters on Poetry' that appeared in The Scots Magazine (1805-06); these have never been reprinted before now. This early work demonstrate Hogg's confident grasp of Shakespeare and 18th-century writers including Pope, Swift, Sterne, Goldsmith, Thomson and Burns, as well as his passion for theatre.
