Great collection of works and history behind the poems. I am unfamiliar with this edition,,mine is from 1842 and is beautiful,,i highly recommend this book if your lover's of poetry.
A beautiful piece of literature and an important edition. The controversy over Ossian's poetry (or Macpherson's forgery) is fascinating, but the importance of scholarship really ought to be in the fantastic work that was published in the 18th century. Eery, misty, heroic and tragic, the works of Ossian, whoever the author may be, are amazing pieces of art.
truth or fiction? interesting book but I really only read the famous Fingal
