James Hogg

    9 december 1770 – 21 november 1835

    James Hogg, bekend als de "Ettrick Shepherd", was een Schotse dichter en romanschrijver die in zowel het Schots als het Engels schreef. Zijn werk duikt vaak in de duistere kanten van de menselijke psychologie, waarbij thema's als geloof, obsessie en het bovennatuurlijke worden onderzocht met een unieke mix van gotische intensiteit en volkse gevoeligheid. Hogg's vertelstijl maakt veelvuldig gebruik van onbetrouwbare vertellers en een scherpe, vaak satirische geest, die lezers meeneemt in complexe verkenningen van geloof en waanvoorstellingen. Zijn onderscheidende stem en fantasierijke vertelkunst verzekeren hem een belangrijke plaats in de Schotse literatuur.
