The Three Perils of Woman

James Hogg. Edited by David Groves and Douglas S. Mack, and Antony J. Hasler

"A necessary and commendable effort to present... [Hogg's] entire corpus in a welcome research edition." — Rhona Brown, Scotia

"Commentators once dismissed Perils of Woman as a bad book because it trampled on the flowerbeds of early-nineteenth-century decorum; they now acclaim it a masterpiece for the very same reason, reading subversive craft in the place of oafishness." — Ian Duncan (Yale University), Studies in Hogg and His World
