Sinopsis

James Hogg was a Scottish author known primarily for his poetry, short stories, ballads, songs and historical narratives. Raised by a tenant farmer in the Ettrick hills of Scotland, Hogg was mostly self-educated, teaching himself to read with only the Bible, and developing an early interest in literature through his mother&rsquo,s recitation of Scottish ballads, songs, and fairy tales. Although his 1824 novel, &ldquo,The Private Memoirs and Confessions of a Justified Sinner&rdquo,, was released to disappointing sales, it was &ldquo,rediscovered&rdquo, in 1924 by André Gide and is now recognized as a masterpiece of prose fiction. The &ldquo,Justified Sinner&rdquo, of the title is the novel&rsquo,s protagonist, Robert Colwan-Wringham, who as an Antinomian Calvinist is convinced of his own divine salvation, regardless of sin. This complex novel features elements of the Gothic and supernatural, a duel narrative, and has been praised for its sophisticated technique, psychological complexity, and elements of irony. This edition is printed on premium acid-free paper.
