The Poems of Ossian.: In two Volumes.; Volume 2
This is Volume 2 of "The Poems of Ossian," a collection attributed to the legendary Gaelic bard Ossian, 'translated' and published by James Macpherson in the late 18th century. These poems, presented as ancient Gaelic epics, gained immense popularity and sparked both fervent admiration and intense controversy. They profoundly influenced the Romantic movement and European literature.
Macpherson's work, while celebrated for its evocative imagery and melancholic tone, was later revealed to be largely of his own creation, drawing inspiration from Gaelic folklore but not a direct translation. Nonetheless, the poems remain a significant literary artifact, reflecting the period's fascination with the sublime, the ancient, and the power of nature. "The Poems of Ossian" continue to captivate readers with their haunting beauty and enduring mystery.
