Square & tight. Spine sunned. A VG copy. 6 ii 379 1 blank pp. Crown 8vo. 6-7/8" x 4-1/4" <br/><br/>Hogg was the ambitious son of a poor Scottish farmer almost entirely self-educated who read books & composed poems as he tended sheep hence the subsequent sobriquet. Some of his early efforts came to the attention of Walter Scott who became something of a patron. In 1810 he left the countryside for Edinburgh desirous of making his literary fortune whereat shortly thereafter he wrote The Queen's Wake 1813 which no less a critic than Lord Byron admired & recommended to his own publisher John Murray. Hogg went on to become the best known "rustic" Scottish poet after Burns lionized prolific and like many in his profession almost eternally in debt. William Blackwood hardcover books
