Beskrivning
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 early 1760's. 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.

Recensioner i media

"The Reception of Ossian in Europe is necessary reading for scholars of eighteenth-century and Romantic studies; no serious library should be without it...[this] book breaks so much fresh ground in these various nations and raises so many topics of debate regarding the connections of authenticity and national identity, that...no single critical study has so thoroughly demonstrated Macpherson's impact through Europe as the book under review...Gaskill and his contributors have collectively produced a major literary achievement that traces Macpherson's formative influence through some of the most significant European authors from the 1760's onward. Read The Reception of Ossian in Europe and be prepared for some surprises."Mel Kersey, Eighteenth Century Scotland, July 2005
