The aim of this book is to revisit Ossian, whilst broadening the
scope of oral literature and translation to embrace cultural
contexts outside of Europe. Epics, ballads, prose tales, ritual and
lyric songs, as genres, existed orally before writing was invented.
Serious debate about them, at least in modern Western culture, may
be said to have begun with James Macpherson and Thomas Percy.
Considering the ongoing debate on orality and authenticity in the
case of Ossian, this book includes ground-breaking, previously
published essays which provide essential information relating to
orality, Ossian and translation, but have been frequently
overlooked. Its contributions focus on the aspects of authenticity,
transmediation, popular poetry and music, examining Scottish,
German, Portuguese, Brazilian, African, American Indian, Indian and
Chinese literatures.
