About This Book

A collection of epic poems and ballads purportedly translated from ancient Gaelic manuscripts. The work focuses on the exploits of the legendary hero Fingal and the bard Ossian. Though later revealed to be largely composed by Macpherson himself, the poems were instrumental in the development of the Romantic movement.
