About This Item
US: Wordsworth Editions Ltd, 1999. Paperback. Good. Private Memoirs and Confessions of a Justified Sinner by James Hogg. With a n Introduction and Notes by David Blair, University of Kent at Canterbury I n the early years of the 18th century, Scotland is torn by religious and po litical strife. Hogg's sinner, justified by his Calvinist conviction that h is own salvation is pre-ordained, is suspected of involvement in a series o f bizarre and hideous crimes. A century later his memoirs reveal the extrao rdinary, macabre truth. The tale is chilling for its astute psychological a ccuracy as it illustrates, with power and economy, the dire effect of self- righteous bigotry on a fanatical character.

An account of a man haunted by the Devil in the form of his own evil double, it precedes Dostoyevskys great dramas of sin, self-accusation, and damnation by half a century.
