"The Shepherd's Calendar. Volume I (of II)" by James Hogg is a collection of pastoral tales written in the early 19th century. The work reflects on the lives of shepherds and farmers in rural Scotland, exploring themes of nature, community, and divinity through the lens of their experiences and interactions. At the start of the volume, we are introduced to the old shepherd Andrew and his wife Janet as they navigate a severe winter storm while tending to their flocks. Andrew expresses concern for the moral state of the country, reflecting on divine judgment as he recounts local history related to the previous hardships faced by farmers. His chat with a visiting farmer reveals mutual frustrations regarding agricultural woes and the perceived decline of morals and prosperity among the farming community. This anecdotal narrative sets the tone for a deeper exploration of the lives, beliefs, and struggles of pastoral folk as they confront the natural elements and the complexities of human nature.
