Présentation de l'éditeur
A mong educated Englishmen Macpherson commonly passes for an audacious impostor who published his own compositions as the work of an ancient writer, and recei Ted due punishment at the hands of Dr. Johnson. The historians of literature compare him with Chatterton, and brand him as a forger. Even those who refrain from giving him a harsh name treat him with doubt and hesitation. An equal obscurity envelops his life and actions and the nature of his work; and the result of ignorance or misconception is that he has obtained something less than justice. If none but the great deserved a biography, this book would not have been wi-itten.
