In 1802, uneducated and still unknown, he set out on the first of a series of journeys through Scotland, from the Borders to the Highlands and Hebrides. The journeys were inspiring, life-changing and often frightening. They led him to a life of chaos, failures, fame, fun and literary masterpieces. Now, a descendant follows his footsteps and reflects on his experiences, and on the remarkable rediscovery of Hogg's works a century after his death. It is a story of tenacity, of daring to be different and, against all odds, success and a flourishing legacy. It is a lively look at an extraordinary life and some of his works, including Confessions of a Justified Sinner, considered by many to be one of the greatest novels ever written. Bruce Gilkison, a New Zealander and a great-great-grandson of Hogg's, walked through Scotland to discover what was special about him and his journeys. Like Hogg, he had no idea where these travels might lead. He found a world of stunning landscapes, fairies and mystery, genius and ambiguity, friendships and back-stabbings, and learnt about his flawed, lovable and eccentric ancestor. 600 10 $a Hogg, James, $d 1770-1835 $x Travel $z Scotland. 651 0 $a Scotland $x Description and travel. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh85118818 600 17 $a Hogg, James, $d 1770-1835. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00055283 650 7 $a Travel. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01155558 651 7 $a Scotland. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01206715 655 7 $a Typefaces (Type evidence) $x Adobe Sabon. $2 rbtyp 710 2 $a Edinburgh University Press, $e publisher. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/no00045564 710 2 $a CPI Group, $e binder. $e binder. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/n92119115 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20191213020823.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=B851A3FE033911E8972C924897128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
