Hogg was a superb letter-writer, and this is the second volume of the first collected edition of his letters (to be completed in three volumes). Many of the letters have never been published before, or published only in part. They vividly reflect Hogg's varied social experience and shed new light on his own writings and those of his contemporaries. Among his famous correspondents were writers such as Scott, Byron, and Southey, antiquarians such as Robert Surtees, politicians such as Sir Robert Peel, and editors and publishers such as John Murray, William Blackwood, and Robert Chambers. This volume begins with Hogg's preparations for marriage and ends with his taking ship for London for his first and only visit to the literary metropolis. During the intervening years he publishes some of his greatest works. Fighting debt, promoting tourism, maintaining his extensive literary and social circle in Scotland and in London, and writing prolifically, the Hogg of these letters is a Scottish cultural powerhouse.
A full editorial apparatus includes biographical notes on his chief correspondents and an overview of this phase of his life.
Key Features:
* The first ever edition of Hogg's letters to be published
* Includes many letters never previously published
* Features Hogg's correspondence with figures such as Sir Walter Scott, Lord Byron and Sir Robert Peel
