Too bad Ossian most likely never wrote any of these poems, epic or otherwise. The praise goes to James MacPherson for having the guts to publish them under the name of a legendary Irish bard. I commend MacPherson for his literary efforts. OSSIAN remains worth reading today, even if few have heard of the collection. This digital edition could use a fresh update, but the current version is still worth the price by far.Product details

The Poems Of Ossian Ossian 9781279386538 Books Reviews
Readers For the Scot-o-phille(&others)this was The Text of antient Scots story & history. Caves were named(& bairns)for it, Napoleon carried a copy(small wonder he lost!) & ect. That is no recommendation; history is too full of books that inspire kooks.
The fiction book was Supposed to be based on a original(which showed evidence of tampering, before it 'was lost'(how happy).
Just to read the text, will show just what a fraud it was/is; and what real value it has beyound being the One Book that was at the fore-front of Early Scottish Nationalism, is Sum Zero.
However, to understand the Modern Scottish Nationalism, this is the place to start. And that alone makes it worth the reading.
Readers
Jamie MacPherson set the Literary World on its colective ear when he published these works of Ossian, & in some circles, near 300 years later, they are still read and debated. BUT, this exact photocopy of the 1787 issue was set by 'a drunken typsetter with a herd of sheep hurtling thru the print shop'. One(of many)examplesefTentially for essentially! I will grant that English is a living language & that much variation existed in circa 1787, but not to "thi$" extent.
So unless you are gifted with the English language, & have a grasp of the grammar conventions of the 18th Century this will be a hard go to read. For the "Dectective Monk" types out there, you would hurl yourselfs out a clean window,& onto a swept & waxed sidewalk; to read this.
So for the Gifted & the willing to learn, this is a very good text. For the rest of humanity, find a proofread & corrected text(which will be a bit more money).
"H pyee reeadding"
A decent cheap edition of all of his alleged works.
