The Private Memoirs and Confessions
of a Justified Sinner
Edited with an Introduction by Karl Miller
The Romantic notion of the divided self is
nowhere more powerfully conceived than
in James Hogg’s masterpiece. An account
of a man haunted by the Devil in the
form of his own evil double, it precedes
Dostoevsky’s great dramas of sin and selfaccusation
by half a century.
