Call for Papers: Studies in Hogg and his World
For its next issue, Studies in Hogg and his World seeks articles on works
composed by a wide range of Scottish authors during the years that James
Hogg was actively publishing: 1801-1835. Articles on Scottish working-class and
/ or women authors are especially welcome, as are those that connect the works
of the Scottish author under study with those of Hogg (although this is not
essential). As usual, the journal also seeks articles on the life and writings
of Hogg for the upcoming issue, which is scheduled for publication in the Fall
of 2023. Studies in Hogg and his World is a peer-reviewed print journal.
Therefore, all articles, pedagogical papers, and notes submitted will undergo
the double-blind peer review process. Submissions should be made on or before
May 30, 2023 to Dr. Holly Faith Nelson at Holly.Nelson@twu.ca.
About Studies
in Hogg and his World
Studies
in Hogg and his World was
established in 1990. Its founding editor was Dr Gillian Hughes, the eminent
James Hogg scholar, author of James
Hogg: A Life (Oxford University Press, 2007),
and editor, co-editor, or associate editor of a great many volumes of Hogg's
works for the Stirling / South Carolina Research Edition of the
Collected Works of James Hogg. Dr Hughes edited
twenty-one issues of Studies
in Hogg in his World before handing over the
editorship in 2010 to Dr Hans de Groot (1939-2019), Professor Emeritus of the
University of Toronto, the editor of the Stirling / South Carolina edition of
James Hogg's Highland
Journeys, and author of scholarly articles and
book chapters on Hogg's works. With the passing of Dr de Groot in 2019, the
editorship was taken up by Dr Holly Faith Nelson, Professor of
English at Trinity Western University, co-editor, with Dr. Sharon Alker, of James
Hogg and the Literary Marketplace: Scottish Romanticism and the Working-Class
Author (Ashgate, 2009; Routledge, 2018),
and co-author, with Dr Alker, of a series of articles and book chapters on the
life and works of James Hogg published over the past two decades.
