Ossian Oeuvres Complètes, Traduction Nouvelle (Classic Reprint)

Description: This book explores the authenticity of the Ossian poems, legendary works attributed to the ancient Gaelic bard, Ossian. The poems have sparked a scholarly debate since their introduction to the world by James Macpherson. The controversy centers around whether Macpherson accurately translated ancient Gaelic texts or fabricated the poems himself. The author delves into the historical and literary context of the poems and examines the arguments for and against Macpherson's claims. The book also explores the profound impact of Ossian's works on literature and culture, from their influence on prominent figures like Goethe and Napoleon to their presence in modern popular culture. Through a meticulous examination of evidence and analysis of the poems themselves, this book offers a comprehensive understanding of one of literature's most enduring mysteries.
