Unknown Author

4.9/5 (18914 ratings)

Description:Winter Evening Tales (1820; second edition 1821) was James Hogg's most successful work of prose fiction in his lifetime. Its experimental medley of novellas, tales, poems and sketches posed a lively alternative to the dominant form of the historical novel established by Walter Scott. The collection includes terse masterpieces of mystery and the uncanny, virtuoso improvisations on folktale themes, and two brilliant autobiographical novellas, The Renowned Adventures of Basil Lee and Love Adventures of Mr George Cochrane. This edition takes account of newly-discovered information about An Old Soldier's Tale and The Long Pack. A critical introduction, explanatory notes, reading list and Hogg chronology are provided to assist the reader in appreciating Hogg's entertaining and challenging tale collection to the full.ContentsThe Renowned Adventures of Basil Lee • short story by James HoggDreadful Story of Macpherson • short fiction by James HoggJohn Gray of Middleholm • [Country Dreams and Apparitions • 1] • short fiction by James HoggAdam Bell • short story by James HoggDuncan Campbell • novelette by James HoggAn Old Soldier's Tale • short story by James HoggHighland Adventures • short fiction by James HoggHalbert of Lyne • short fiction by James HoggThe Long Pack • (1817) • short story by James HoggA Peasant's Funeral • short story by James HoggStory of Two Highlanders • short story by James HoggMaria's Tale • short fiction by James HoggSingular Dream • short fiction by James HoggLove Adventures of Mr. George Cochrane • short fiction by James HoggCousin Mattie • [Country Dreams and Apparitions • 4] • short story by James HoggWelldean Hall • [Country Dreams and Apparitions • 5] • novella by James HoggThe Wife of Lochmaben • [Country Dreams and Apparitions • 3] • short story by James HoggTibby Johnston's Wraith • [Country Dreams and Apparitions • 6] • short story by James HoggThe Bridal of Polmood • novella by James HoggKing Gregory • short fiction by James HoggThe Shepherd's Calendar • short fiction by James HoggConnel of Dee • [Country Dreams and Apparitions • 2] • short fiction by James HoggWe have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
