James Hogg
The Private Memoirs and Confessions of a Justified Sinner
Paperback
(CreateSpace Independent Publishing Platform July 11, 2018)
The main work of Hogg is the Gothic novel The Private Memoirs and Confessions of a Justified Sinner (1824), which is put on a par with the works of Anna Radcliffe, Matthew Lewis and Charles Maturin. In the center of the novel, which takes place in Scotland at the very beginning of the 18th century, is the scary story of the religious fanatic Robert Wingham, the Calvinist obsessed with predestination theory, and the world populated by the creations of his frustrated mind. Or are these ghosts real? They are definitely real for Wingham himself, and the reader can only guess - and shiver. An early masterpiece of psychological Gothic, anticipating the famous Turn of the Screw by Henry James, Hogg's novel at the same time - and religious satire, and a study of the Scottish national character, and much more.
