Marketed as a lost Gaelic epic by the third-century bard Ossian it was "translated" by James Macpherson who claimed to have discovered fragments of ancient poetry in the Scottish Highlands. <em>Fingal</em> quickly caused an uproar in coffee houses and academic circles across Britain admired for its sublime landscapes and heroic tone but hotly contested as a possible forgery. Whether authentic or not the poems inspired an entire generation of Romantic writers and artists across Europe from Goethe to Napoleon. This copy handsomely preserved in its original late 18th-century mottled calf binding offers both literary importance and historical resonance.</p> Oxford: Printed for J. and J. Fletcher; T.
