This extraordinarily complex novel from Scottish author James Hogg is notable for being a powerful criticism of the Calvinist doctrine of predetermination. Revolving around the story of Robert Colwan, a young man convinced that he is pre-determined to enjoy heavenly salvation. As Robert’s descent into evil, despair, and madness ultimately leads him to murder his own brother, Hogg’s novel questions the nature of religious fanaticism and its excesses.
