La sposa misteriosa è un racconto di James Hogg. È la vigilia di san Lorenzo del 1777 quando il signore di Birkendelly vede per la prima volta una dama misteriosa tanto sfuggente quanto affascinante, della quale s’innamora a prima vista. Dopo quell'incontro la sua vita non sarà più la stessa, e la sua ossessione lo trascinerà in un vortice soprannaturale d'amore e morte.

James Hogg was a Scottish poet, novelist and essayist who wrote in Scots and English. As a young man he worked as a shepherd and farmhand, and was largely self-educated through reading. He was a friend of many of the great writers of his day, including Sir Walter Scott, of whom he later wrote an unauthorized biography. He became widely known as the "Ettrick Shepherd", a nickname under which some of his works were published, and the character name he was given in the widely read series 'Noctes Ambrosianae', published in Blackwood's Magazine. He is best known today for his novel The Private Memoirs and Confessions of a Justified Sinner. His other works include the long poem The Queen's Wake, his collection of songs Jacobite Reliques, and the novels The Three Perils of Man, The Three Perils of Woman, and The Brownie of Bodsbeck.
