- James Hogg (1770-1835) was a Scottish poet, novelist, and essayist known for his work in the Romantic literary movement. He was born in the small village of Ettrick in the Scottish Borders, and his upbringing was marked by poverty and hardship.
Hogg's father was a shepherd, and Hogg himself worked as a shepherd for much of his youth. However, he had a passion for literature and began writing poetry and prose at an early age. Despite his lack of formal education, Hogg was a talented writer, and he began to gain recognition for his work in the early 1800s.
His first major publication was "The Mountain Bard" (1807), a collection of poems that celebrated the rural life and landscape of Scotland. This was followed by his most famous work, "The Private Memoirs and Confessions of a Justified Sinner" (1824), a novel that explored themes of good and evil, religious fanaticism, and psychological horror.
In addition to his writing, Hogg was known for his eccentric personality and his love of Scottish folklore and tradition. He was a close friend of other Scottish writers such as Walter Scott and Robert Burns, and he was a frequent visitor to literary salons and gatherings in Edinburgh.
Despite his literary success, Hogg struggled with financial difficulties for much of his life. He continued to write and publish until his death in 1835, and he is remembered as one of Scotland's most important writers of the Romantic period.

Your fearlessness in interpreting dialects and accents never fails to impress me 😃
As long as it goes that way
This was fantastic I enjoy reading books as well.There is a satisfying feeling when you can hold the books and read them .
One of my favorite activities, reading and looking though books. I miss going to the bookstores.
So many Native American people are losing their languages. The elders who spoke them as spoken languages are dying out, and the young people didn't learn. Some of the Northwest tribes, like the Tlinglit, are having schools to teach the language. I know that the Chippewa do too.
As a person of Native (Comanche) descent, I have struggled my entire life balancing between my European ancestors and the blood of The People. I'll leave it at that and I thank you for that comment 💜
@@violetfemme411 Yes. My grandmothers were forbidden to speak their native language, for fear that they would be taken away by force to an Indian residential school. As a consequence, no family in my generation speaks our grandmothers' language, only English.
@@hollywebster6844 Can you imagine how different our lives may have been if we were encouraged to learn our native language or even just being encouraged to study our grandparents or great grandparents heritage? I can only imagine how different my choices would have been regarding my options. At least now I take advantage of the love of nature and animals to teach me the lessons considered unimportant in my youth 💜
@@violetfemme411 And, it's never too late to learn our family language! Many tribes have online language resources. I find it comforting to know even a few words. I feel more connected to my ancestors and grateful for their will to survive.
Yeah? Do you speak Gaelic, Saxon, or Pictish? Cheers from the States
Ooh I enjoyed that! Especially with all the accents! Good story and interesting hearing about the author.
I know Ettrick, Fingland, Eskdalemuir, Moffat...All of that area very well. Yes, it feels very remote and bleak..
The inability to catch up with these divine/ magical figures is quite widespread in myth, as you say. There is a very well known tale of this in Buddhist tradition, applied to the Buddha himself ☺
Also, regarding the power of words/names , again in the Buddhist tradition it is understood that Padmasambhava, who introduced Buddhism to Tibet did so by firstly subduing the various demons of that country by discovering their true names and thus disempowering them...
remember seeing jame's hoggs statue in Selkirk in Scotland . also have his book at home .
Terrific story, thank you Tony! 👍❤️
Enjoyed this immensely thankyou!.😊 I am in awe of your ability to speak so animatedly about so many loosely connected but still fascinating things after your narration. It's as pleasing as the story in its own way. 😅 That after so many turnings from the original path you can still find your way back to the point is an adventure I look forward to each week. Bless and thank you😂❤
Loosely connected is the correct phrase :)
Loved this one, Tony---just the ticket for a Friday evening. The Ramble afterwards was EPIC! The Druids tales are written in the stars and tree rings---and only magicians can access them ~ lol! 😉
Great narration. Thanks!!
Revenge spanning generations! Splendid did!
So excited..thanks Tony.. ❤well I declare.tis mysterious indeed
Just saw this! St Patrick’s day ☘️ yesterday and I have a headache that I am sure this will help me forget about! Thank you so much Tony!
I hope it did!
Nice to hear your native accents after Hill House.
Have fun with the pups.
I think we will be ending up with a puppy or two
I refuse to stop loving and using all the many multi-cultural gifts which are my birthright as curious human being. If you don't like it, look away!
I loved this story! I'd really be in trouble if we weren't allowed to mimic accents. I can't help myself. Wherever I go I adopt the accent. They do say that, 'imitation is the sincerest form of flattery' 😇 Yours definitely add to the tale 👋👋👋... and books are my passion. My mission is to convert non-readers 😏
Only trouble is - it's not the right accent! This really needs someone who can do a Scots accent and dialect. The dialogue sounds wrong any other way.
I appreciate that, paddymeboy, but as a "Heinz 57 Varieties" American, I don't know the difference so any attempt at a dialect illuminates a story for me.
My dad called us "curb stone setters," another name for mixed up heritage. My family actually came from England, Scotland, Ireland, and Germany to the colonies in the early days, so I could hardly be more quintessentially American. Except, oddly, no American Indian that I know of.
Tony makes some Interesting comments there at the end, about culture and language. We live in fascinating times, when it is so important to maintain heritage, yet we enjoy and adopt/ adapt what is appealing from cultures all over the world.
I am so grateful some of us can meet here, where all of us enjoy a good story read by a master at his craft.
I have to say that I believe there is a genetic component which carries the ability to tell a good story. My dad, my brother, and my son could spin a good yarn out of any little detail. I have thousands of tales in my head but am not good at relating them, mores the pity. And my daughter She can do dialects to beat the band. We once counted 37! That includes 3 southern., 3NYC, and 3 British. In a NYC Irish bar, she had someone convinced she was from Ireland herself! Her work took her to China and Germany, where friends from both countries were amazed that she was fluent in both Mandarin and German.
I think that comes from Irish ancestors who had the gift of gab.
The story was good, but I could listen to you talk about Druids, folklore, and language all day!
Ooooow! Lovely tale. Moral. Follow through & do not sway from your hearts’ first exclaim or rue the day…!😊
I, too, love books. Hope you enjoyed the puppies. Thank you for this story.
Loved it and as always- ended up learning something new! Thanks so much for the wander and wonder!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Great narration 👌
So many things are lost when not written down. I have lots of questions for my parents but they have moved on to pastures new. Stuff that I wished I had asked them to explain. My father was from just outside Haltwhistle and on the border with Cumberland. Lots of folklore that I remember him and his brothers and sisters telling me. Stories can be wonderful metaphors too
Love your storytelling Tony but equally the rambling as well..I learn lots!😊
+Elaine Parker I know Haltwhistle
Of course. Right in the centre of Britain !
I really liked this one. It definitely had a folklore/fae vibe going on even though it's a ghost story.
+ShroomyK yes I agree
I really enjoyed this one! Thank you for uploading.
Seems as if I forgot to comment on this story 😮 So I'm listening again. 💜
This got a lot of
Listens. I think the thumbnail helps, or not? What do you think ?
@@ClassicGhost Yes I always notice an interesting thumbnail. I do think it makes a difference.
First here just chilling after a day's work time to wind down
Thank you Tony, a gray reading.
Very interesting and relevant musings on language and culture.
Part of my genetic heretage is that of the people of Lurtrawitta, they did not have a tradition of written language. Or even much of a pictogramic tradition.
So much is lost.
The genocide that destroyed most of a people also robbed the descendants of their history through spoken word.
The situation is so fraught here because of litigation and bids for government money that I would be accused of cultural appropriation simply because of the way I create art.
I know more of my European history than that of the place that I and generations of my family were born in.
Writing is good.
Ok rant over, back to cleaning the range.
Humph...
Oh and it is taboo to mention the names of people whom have died in most Australian Aboriginal traditions, in modern time they may be referred to by a title such as Aunty, Uncle, Doctor, these being the three most common.
@@Story-Voracious66 the Navajo of the SW USA are the same: the dead are not named, nor their Hogan lived in after their death. Doing either could summon their ghost.
Very interesting/ I didn’t know that at all
@Brandy Jean, thanks for that. I never knew.
Always interested in knowing more about indigenous peoples; the more it's told the longer it will live.
Thanks for this story.
Readers at the time would have noted the references to green in the bride's costume, and knew that meant fairy. When I was my friend's bridesmaid, and went with her to the dressmakers' for the dress fitting, she asked for some green on the dress, and the dressmaker said that you can't have green on a wedding dress, and wouldn't do it. To have green on your wedding dress was to invite the fairies to take you away
That is a great anecdote!
Very true that language intertwines with culture. I had a professor who argued one can't claim to have read a work if one reads a translation. Language itself has a sentiment that gets lost in translation.
This somehow reminds me of Jonathan Strange. Idk why. I think it’s in the telling, the omniscient narration maybe, the way it’s written? Idk “In LINES OF BLOOD”- lol.
Love it
And enjoyed the rambling. Carry on, just as you done.
Thanks!
Sorry I didn't thank you immediately. Thank you very much!
Good one!
There's a du Maurier story called "The Escort" that would make a good podcast. A nautical story about a WWII convoy and a ghost ship. You probably already read it.
No. I don’t know it. I’ll take a look
Language & writing is the shit! 😎. Quite an accent you can put on there! He scratched the original title “The Mysterious Disappearing Maiden!”
Is that what it was called?
@@ClassicGhost I’m just playing around. Good story! I think u said u have a degree in welsh…. I know this story is Irish ☘️. But still, I’m interested in what are some of the more interesting aspects of the language? Any tidbits of information that we could benefit from knowing?
My husband's family surname was Hogg / Haig, from the original de Haga. His ancestors adopted the French spelling. We don't see this surname often.
I used to work with a few Hoggs
Thank you! I feel like crap because of Rona. This made my day!!
Hogg was known as the Ettrick Shepherd.
Omg! Puppies!!!
Puppies. Yes I love them all.
If we can't read a story in a different language, does that mean that we can't read Victor Hugo? Or Pliny? Or Plato?
It’s nuts. Of course we should
I hate when people try to put you in a box and say you can't do this or you can't do that. What's it mean a rat's furry posterior to them? No comprede idiocy.
I’m thinking that “he who must not be named” is a good example of circumlocution; what say you?
I say yes.
Those Irish girls
That song didnt sound even remotely ‘amorous’ to me… but then maybe I didn’t quite catch nearly all of the Olde Scotts in it…? Did sound funny, though.
The busybodies that even concieve of terms like 'cultural appropriation' are not worthy of consideration.
What kind of puppies????
Little Staffordshire bull terriers
Half of this is incomprehensible gibberish.! Like a Nicola
Sturgeon speech ! " Ye cannae defy the laws o' physics Captain ! ". Thank you Mr Scott. Stand by to lock on
phasers !! "
I'm not sure why you're reading this, dreadfully dull story, pointless, I only managed to listen to half of it.
I, on the other hand, think it's one the best on this channel, very exciting and mysterious!
I loved it! That's relativity for ya, I guess
