Bemoaning the fact that Hogg's drivel outweighs his good material, the editor presents what he calls "a reliable text of Hogg 's best poems," in the hope that it "will make possible a revaluation of his stature as a poet." Navy cloth, 183 pages (including select bibliography, commentary, glossary), frontispiece. Light edgewear, lightly tanned edges, splash-soil to top fore-edge, slight bleed of same to end papers. Much-rubbed dust jacket w/some edgewear, corner/spine end wear, impressions, thin scratches, sticker shadow to front flap.
