詹姆斯·霍格(,)是一位苏格兰作家、诗人。他本是苏格兰埃特里克的牧羊人,靠自学成才,因此后来获得“埃特里克的牧羊人”(Ettrick Shepherd)之称,结识了沃尔特·斯科特等大作家。其成名作为《一個稱義罪人的私下回憶錄與自白書》(The Private Memoirs and Confessions of a Justified Sinner) 。
生平
1770年,他出生于苏格兰埃特里克的一个小农场,是家中次子,具体出生时间已无法考证。他的父亲罗伯特(1729–1820)是一名佃农,其母玛格丽特(原姓Laidlaw,1730–1813)喜欢收集苏格兰民谣。他曾在当地的教区学校里上过几个月学,但很快因父亲破产而辍学,他只好在靠给邻居当牧羊人补贴家用。他的早期文学知识来自圣经和其母、其叔讲给他的故事。后来又在给其他人家当牧羊人的过程中学会读报。 1801年,他受雇给沃尔特·斯科特的《苏格兰边区歌谣集》(The Minstrelsy of the Scottish Border)收集民谣,后来得到机会见到斯科特本人,并开始在《爱丁堡杂志》工作,开启他的文学生涯。
