Description - Electric Shepherd by Karl Miller
In 1803, Walter Scott presented a remarkable guest to his friends. The plaid-clad figure was James Hogg, poet and shepherd, and one of Scotland's most unusual literary figures. With no schooling after the age of seven, Hogg struggled to form his letters, and taught himself the violin to while away the lonely hours working with his flock. Yet he went on to number literary giants such as Wordsworth, Coleridge and Walter Scott among his friends and acquaintances, and to become a renowned poet and novelist. Karl Miller's biography restores this overlooked and fascinating figure to his rightful place in the literary history of Scotland.
