Publisher's Synopsis

When James Macpherson published his translations of the poetry of Ossian, they were an instant success. However, the plaudits soon gave way to controversy - were the poems part of a great Gaelic oral tradition, or the work of Macpherson's imagination? This volume provides a fresh look at the twists and turns of the Ossian story.
