This is a collection of international research surveying the
reception of James Macpherson's Ossian poems in European literature
and culture.The intellectual scope and cultural impact of British
writers cannot be assessed without reference to their European
fortunes. This collection of 20 essays, prepared by an
international team of scholars, critics and translators, records
the ways in which Macpherson's Ossian has been received, translated
and published in different areas of Europe.The Ossian poems caused
a sensation on their first appearance in the 1760s. Indeed, there
is hardly a major Romantic poet on whom they failed to make a
significant impression. The essays brought together in this volume
explore the reception of Ossian in a wide range of European
countries, in both literary and non-literary forms of reception and
in the work of both individual writers and national literary
cultures.Our knowledge of British and Irish authors is incomplete
and inadequate without an understanding of the perspectives of
other nations on them. Each volume examines the ways authors have
been translated, published, distributed, read, reviewed and
discussed in Europe. In doing so, it throws light not only on the
specific strands of intellectual and cultural history but also on
the processes involved in the dissemination of ideas and texts.
