Présentation de l'éditeur
This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.
Biographie de l'auteur
James Macpherson (Scottish Gaelic: Seumas MacMhuirich) (1736 – 1796) was a Scottish writer, poet, literary collector and politician, known as the "translator" of the Ossian cycle of poems. In 1761 he published Fingal, an Ancient Epic Poem in Six Books, together with Several Other Poems composed by Ossian, the Son of Fingal, from the Gaelic Language. Temora followed in 1763, and a collected edition, The Works of Ossian, in 1765. The authenticity of these was immediately challenged by Irish historians. Macpherson never produced the originals that he claimed existed.
