Call for Submissions: Studies in Hogg and his World

 

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 Alkerof 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.
