"The book argues for Hogg's centrality to British Romanticism, resituating his work
in relation to Romantic contemporaries who include Byron, Blake, Scott, Baillie, Wordsworth,
Coleridge, Southey, and Keats, and tracing his important inter-textual relationships
to predecessors such as Spenser, Shakespeare, Johnson, Sterne, Gray, Collins, Macpherson,
and Burns. Hogg creates a unique literary style which, the author argues, is best
described as 'kaleidoscopic' in view of its similarities with David Brewster's kaleidoscope,
invented in 1816. This ambitious and ground-breaking study not only sheds new light
on Hogg's relationship with British Romanticism, but urges a re-thinking of Romanticism
itself. It offers original new critical readings of a spectrum of Hogg's key works
in a range of genres, demonstrating how his kaleidoscopic literary practice unsettles
and reshapes our canonical understanding of the Romantic period and his place in it"
