Hoggs extremely rare periodical of 181011 shows him reacting to the writers, personalities, and locales of Scotlands capital city after his move to Edinburgh from Ettrick and his careerchange from shepherd and farmer to professional author. His characteristically astute and idiosyncratic vision reveals a rather different city from that of Walter Scott and Francis Jeffrey, and his band of contributors form another audience for his work than the middleclass Tories associated with the later Blackwoods Edinburgh Magazine. The Spy includes early versions of some of Hoggs bestknown poetry and prose besides a wealth of fascinating lesserknown material.This is the first edition of The Spy since the original edition of 181011 was published, and offers a carefully corrected text, full annotation, notes on Hoggs contributors to his paper, and a history of its making. It represents an advance in our knowledge both of Hoggs early writing career and of the city he encountered early in the nineteenth century.
