James Hogg. This novel confronts issues concerning politics, statecraft, history, philosophy and religion, which are all discussed with reference to Christianity. Such an intense intellectual atmosphere which makes serious demands on the will - for what is apprehended intellectually must be lived out practically - seems to have had more perilous implications for the emotions and the imagination. Those strongly human functions when proportionately neglected produce a strange, dark mental interior of fear and unhappiness.
