Ossian door MACPHERSON James
The authenticity of Macpherson’s collection was already controversially judged, when it came, translated in several European languages, to the continent. The author was said having written the poems himself instead collecting and translating them from ancient Gaelic sources. Nevertheless, the work was highly appreciated in the German Romanticism and had immense influence to writers as Ludwig Tieck or Clemens von Brentano.
Among the 2 or 3 best works of fantasy I've ever read. Even if it was a literary hoax, the writing is stunningly evocative, yet very terse.
Review by Samuel Johnson from Bosswell's LOJ.
