Attacked by Samuel Johnson and others as "forgeries," nonetheless the poems enthralled readers around the world, attracting rapturous admiration from figures as diverse as Goethe, Diderot, Jefferson, Bonaparte and Mendelssohn. This International Companion examines the social, political and philosophical context of the poems, their disputed origins, their impact on world literature, and the various critical afterlives of Macpherson and of his literary works. 410 0$aInternational companions to Scottish literature. 606 $aLiterary forgeries and mystifications$xHistory$y18th century 615 0$aLiterary forgeries and mystifications$xHistory 676 $a821.6 702 $aMoore$b Dafydd$f1973- 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910825680603321 996 $aThe international companion to James Macpherson and The poems of Ossian$93996727 997 $aUNINA
