Author: Macpherson, James,
Title: The poems of Ossian.
Description: Contemporary critics were divided in their view of the work's authenticity, but the current consensus is that Macpherson largely composed the poems himself, drawing in part on traditional Gaelic poetry he had collected. The work was internationally popular, translated into all the literary languages of Europe and was highly influential both in the development of the Romantic movement and the Gaelic revival. Macpherson's fame was crowned by his burial among the literary giants in Westminster Abbey. W.P. Ker, in the Cambridge History of English Literature, observes that "all Macpherson's craft as a philological impostor would have been nothing without his literary skill." [ Wikipedia] With introduction by George Eyre-Todd. l Lightning Source. Milton Keynes no date. Facsimile-print. Pb. 298 pp. Very good.
