Macpherson's Ossian aroused enthusiasm and considerable controversy
in the late-18th and early-19th centuries. This volume provides a
modern edition of Macpherson's Ossianic poetry. It is an annotated
version, based on the 1765 text of the Works of Ossian which is
republished here in its entirety. Major variants from other
editions are included, together with a descriptive register of
Ossianic names. Ossian expert, Fiona Stafford, provides a critical
introduction explaining the genesis of the work and its impact on
18th-century culture. All Macpherson's Ossianic poetry is included
- Fragments of Ancient Poetry, Fingal and Temora - as well as his
accompanying prefaces and dissertations and Hugh Blair's
influential Critical Dissertation of the Poems of Ossian
