The first complete edition of James Hogg’s contributions to Fraser’s Magazine for Town and Country.
In the final years of James Hogg's life, Fraser's Magazine for Town and Country became the most important outlet for his shorter writings, usurping the previous centrality of Blackwood's Edinburgh Magazine. This volume collects for the first time his many and various contributions to the magazine and presents them in a reliable scholarly form, complete with a wide-ranging introduction, explanatory notes, appendices and glossary. Building on other volumes in The Stirling / South Carolina Research Edition, Contributions to Fraser's Magazine highlights Hogg's expansion into the London literary marketplace and his reception as a Scottish author south of the Tweed, as well as the beginnings of his posthumous memorialisation.
