Description
The Private Memoirs and Confessions of a Justified Sinner by James Hogg is a gripping tale of psychological horror that challenges Calvinist dogma. Set in 19th-century Scotland, the story revolves around Robert Wringham's descent into madness as he grapples with his own morality. A complex web of relationships and identities unfolds, featuring a dissolute father, a pious mother, and a rival minister who preaches salvation to those deemed elect. As Robert becomes increasingly convinced of his own freedom from moral constraints, he embarks on a series of crimes alongside a mysterious friend Gil-Martin, whose true nature is shrouded in mystery. This Penguin Classics edition includes an introduction and notes by Karl Miller, providing valuable context for understanding the novel's significance in James Hogg's life and times.
