The book: The Poems of Ossian became a literary sensation in the 18th century and was widely considered to be an ancient Gaelic epic until its authenticity was later questioned. James Macpherson claimed to have translated these poems from ancient sources, and they significantly influenced European romanticism. This 1819 edition includes critical dissertations and discussions regarding the era and poems of Ossian, offering both literary enjoyment and scholarly commentary. The author: James Macpherson (1736-1796) was a Scottish writer and poet known for his translation of the Ossianic poems, which he claimed were based on ancient Gaelic manuscripts. Though his work was later challenged, Macpherson's translations had a profound impact on the Romantic movement and were praised by figures like Goethe and Napoleon.
