Items related to Electric Shepherd : A Likeness of James Hogg
Synopsis
James Hogg, poet and shepherd, was one of Scotland's most unusual literary figures. With no schooling after the age of seven, Hogg struggled to form his letters, and taught himself the violin to while away the lonely hours working with his flock. Yet he went on to number literary giants such as Wordsworth, Coleridge and Walter Scott among his friends and acquaintances, and to become a reknowned poet and novelist. Karl Miller's biography restores this overlooked and fascinating figure to his rightful place in the literary history of Scotland.

About the Author
Karl Miller founded the London Review of Books in 1979, and went on to edit it for many years. Formerly literary editor of the Spectator and the New Statesman, and editor of the Listener, he was also Lord Northcliffe Professor of Modern English Literature at University College London. Among his books are Cockburn's Millennium and Doubles, which Alan Massie has described as two of 'the most illuminating books about Scotland to have appeared in my lifetime.' Karl Miller's vivid portrait of James Hogg, Electric Shepherd, appeared in 2003.
Review
"'Miller's writing seems to breathe the air of the period so steadily and so deeply that the reader might occasionally experience a part of himself venturing forth to mingle with the multitude of personalities on display' Andrew O'Hagan, Daily Telegraph"
