Abstract

Welcome to the fourth collection by Wyvern Poets, in collaboration with the University of Dundee. December 2020 marks the 250th anniversary of the birth of James Hogg and heralds the bicentenary of The Private Memoirs and Confessions of a Justified Sinner (1824) Hogg’s novel is a milestone in Scottish Gothic fiction, with disturbing and ongoing resonances. Its theme of duality not only challenged Calvinist doctrines about a predestined elect, but made the idea of split psyches individual and cultural globally imaginable through influencing Stevenson’s The Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde (1886) This collection considers the many ways in which Hogg’s double vision still speaks to our time and beyond.
