Tale of Old Mortality
Av Walter Scott, Douglas S. Mack
Inbunden, 1993
2741 kr
Lägg i varukorg
The Tale of Old Mortality describes the lives - and often violent deaths - the hopes, and the struggles, of the Covenanters in late seventeenth-century Scotland. A tale of extremism, bigotry and cruelty, it is redeemed by its characters’ courage and loyalty, and their passionate belief in religious …
Shepherd's Calendar
Av James Hogg, Douglas S. Mack
Inbunden, 1995
1759 kr
Lägg i varukorg
A collection of thirteen tales and anecdotes, published for the first time as Hogg intended, and capturing the flavour of Border story-telling.
Three Perils of Woman
Av James Hogg, Colin Groves m. fl.
Inbunden, 1995
1607 kr
Lägg i varukorg
Both comical and horrific, The Three Perils of Woman is essentially a combination of two stories on similar themes. One is set in the Highlands following the Battle of Culloden and the other in Hogg's Edinburgh. Daring in its subject matter, the novel touches on such delicate topics as prostitution …
Lay Sermons
Av James Hogg, Gillian Hughes m. fl.
Inbunden, 1997
1572 kr
Lägg i varukorg
Lay Sermons offers, playfully, a series of lay sermons on good principles and good breeding - the last thing that one would expect from the pen of Blackwood's Ettrick Shepherd. But a significant part of the joke is that the Shepherd provides lay sermons that combine into a series of wise …
Queen Hynde
Av James Hogg, Suzanne Gilbert m. fl.
Inbunden, 1998
1607 kr
Lägg i varukorg
Heroic, radical and at times hilarious, Queen Hynde is Ossian with jokes; but Hogg's epic has serious purposes in mind. Its picture of the ancient Scottish past has much in common with stories of King Arthur and Camelot; and Queen Hynde aspires to emulate Paradise Lost as a Christian epic.

Bush aboon Traquair and The Royal Jubilee
Av James Hogg, Douglas S. Mack
Inbunden, 2008
1607 kr
Lägg i varukorg
The Bush aboon Traquair, like Allan Ramsay's The Gentle Shepherd, is a pastoral drama with songs, and in this play Hogg celebrates the life of the people of his native community in Ettrick Forest. At times earthy and at times hilarious, The Bush focuses on rural courtship, and it derives part of …

Lägg i varukorg
First published in 1823, Hogg’s powerful novel combines two stories that hauntingly echo each other, one set in Edinburgh and the Scottish Borders in the early 1820s, and the other set in the Highlands in 1746, the time of Culloden and its devastating aftermath. The Three Perils of Woman …

Prepare to Get Lost on the Beaten Path... When Doug Mack picked up a 1963 edition of Europe on Five Dollars a Day , he stumbled on an inspired idea: to boldly go where millions have gone before, relying only on the advice of a travel guide that''s nearly a half century out-of-date. Add to the mix …
Scottish Fiction and the British Empire
Häftad, 2006
416 kr
Tillfälligt slut
Scotland was an active – albeit junior – partner in the British Empire. But the poorer and more marginalised parts of Scottish society shared something of Ireland’s experience of being at the receiving end of British Imperial power. This created a long-lasting, complex, and eloquent debate among …
