Abstract
James Macphersons Ossian poems were the international
sensation of the eighteenth-century. First published in 1760,
Macphersons work caused a literary furore. Ostensibly
translations from Gaelic manuscripts, the poems were published as fragments of a lost Celtic epic, salvaged from a
dying oral culture and translated for the edification of a modern
readership. Despite the controversial provenance of the Ossian
poems, they transformed European literature; their impact was
profound, international and long lasting, initiating the Romantic
movement in Ireland, Britain, Europe, and beyond.
