Call for Papers: Studies in Hogg and his World
The next issue of Studies
in Hogg and his World is on the subject of “Unsettling Scottish
Literature,” with the intentional play on the idea of “unsettling.” This issue
is affiliated with the upcoming research workshop Unsettling Scottish Studies,
to be held at Simon Fraser University in November 2024, the first international
multi-disciplinary workshop dedicated to decolonizing Scottish Studies.
However, the issue will include articles, pedagogical papers, and notes that
address all sorts of ways that Scottish literature in the late eighteenth and
early nineteenth centuries does, or should, unsettle. 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 August 30, 2025 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.
