Shepherd's Calendar

"...tales and articles which appeared in Blackwood's, and were later, in 1829, issued by the firm in book form, having been relieved of 'objectionable or superfluous' material by Hogg's nephew...This edition restores the items to their magazine condition...The stories are about storms, sheep, lairds, about farmers with designs on their servant girls...The version of pastoral apparent in his prose writings does not gloss over the facts of rural life...Chastity, carnality, carnage and carnivorousness are among his favorite subjects, and dance together in his writings to the music of a divided life."Hogg, James is the author of 'Shepherd's Calendar' with ISBN 9780748604746 and ISBN 074860474X.
