Hogg was born near Ettrick in the Scottish Borders and becameknown as the Ettrick Shepherd. He was largely sel-taught andhighly inuenced by olk tradition and religion.
Edinburgh had a great inuence on Hogg’s lie. It was when he moved to Edinburghthat he seriously embarked on his literary career, and the literary circle oEdinburgh made a defnite impression on him. Figures rom the literary circuit,especially Sir Walter Scott, were both riends and inspiration to him, and continuedto be ater he moved back to the Borders.Edinburgh also unctioned in stark contrast to the rural lie o the Borders –and it was in the city that Hogg recognised both the chance or proessionalgrowth and also the threat o social competition. Edinburgh eatures in
Conessions o a Justifed Sinner
as the ground or the conict between Robertand George, the site where their respective liestyles and belies clash.
