Private Memoirs and Confession of a Forgiven Sinner is a gripping narrative of religious fanaticism, considered one of the masterpieces of 19th century Scottish romanticism.

Robert Wringhim, who seeks salvation on earth in Calvinism and the religious career it offers to its chosen servants, feels an uncanny closeness to the mysterious stranger he encounters in Scotland. Over time, this closeness will turn him away from being a clergyman and into a serial killer who murders even his closest people. Is the mysterious stranger Robert encounters the devil himself, or is Robert experiencing a psychotic split personality? James Hogg's theological fiction, woven around a sinner's deep crisis, is one of the most powerful Enlightenment parodies of the 19th century.

“James Hogg is one of the most talented writers I know, even though he writes in a very different style than I do.”

-Walter Scott-

“Hogg's novel deserves its reputation as a cult book for its originality, sophistication and wry energy.”

- Ian Parker -
