'It will be a grand book for thae Englishers for they winna understand a word of it'Hogg's boast to William BlackwoodWitty, humorous and comical as the title implies, the eccentric nature of many of the poems collected here nevertheless belies the often serious and moral issues contained within. Newly available in paperback, and including many of Hogg's better known longer pieces, the present volume is based on the first edition of A Queer Book to be published since 1832 - though the similarity between the two editions ends with the running order. While the text for the original edition was substantially reworked by the publisher to smooth out Hogg's use of Scots, this volume brings together manuscripts from all over the world to provide material as near to his final copy as possible. The result is a vibrant collection including many poems which have never been studied critically before. A thorough introduction to the best of Hogg's poetry.

James Hogg was a Scottish poet, novelist and essayist who wrote in both Scots and English. He is best known for his novel The Private Memoirs and Confessions of a Justified Sinner.

Peter Garside is an established scholar and experienced textual editor, well known in his field, and whose previous publications include critical editions of Scott, Hogg and Lockhart, all published by Edinburgh University Press. He is also the author of a string of articles interrogating Lockhart's treatment of key incidents in the Life, the latest of which is 'Scott's Last Words' [Studies in Scottish Literature, 47/2 (Fall 2021), 25-40].
