Description

It is Scotland in the early 18th century. Fear and superstition grip the land. Robert Wringhim, a boy of strict Calvinist upbringing, is corrupted by a shadowy figure who calls himself Gil-Martin. Under his influence he commits a series of murders which he regards as "justified" by God under the tenets of his faith. Hogg's book is a brilliant portrayal of the power of evil, and a scathing critique of the organized religion. Superbly crafted and deftly executed, it resists any easy explanation of events; is this stranger a figment of Robert's imagination or the devil himself?

Description

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.

The Three Perils of Man (Collected Works of James Hogg)

Edinburgh University Press

Description

One of James Hogg's longest and daring works, The Three Perils of Man tells two stories: a supernatural plot located at Aikwood Castle and a chivalric located at Roxburgh Castle. A series of embedded narratives provides the reader with, among other things, a picture of Hogg's traditional and timeless rural world and an overview of early Scottish history. Gillian Hughes reproduces Hogg's original manuscript, restoring the name of Sir Walter Scott (used through most of the manuscript) and passages excised or omitted during the preparation of the printed edition. Hogg's explicit language is brought back, and the restoration of Scott's name and character in particular make explicit the extent to which this novel challenges the author's dominance in portraying a chivalric past. Any assessment of Hogg as a major novelist, especially a major historical novelist, must consider this edition of The Three Perils of Man.
