Download or read book Ossianic Unconformities written by Eric Gidal and published by University of Virginia Press. This book was released on 2015-08-25 with total page 308 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In a sequence of publications in the 1760s, James Macpherson, a Scottish schoolteacher in the central Highlands, created fantastic epics of ancient heroes and presented them as genuine translations of the poetry of Ossian, a fictionalized Caledonian bard of the third century. In Ossianic Unconformities Eric Gidal introduces the idiosyncratic publications of a group of nineteenth-century Scottish eccentrics who used statistics, cartography, and geomorphology to map and thereby vindicate Macpherson's controversial eighteenth-century renderings of Gaelic oral traditions. Although these writers primarily sought to establish the authenticity of Macpherson's "translations," they came to record, through promotion, evasion, and confrontation, the massive changes being wrought upon Scottish and Irish lands by British industrialization. Their obsessive and elaborate attempts to fix both the poetry and the land into a stable set of coordinates developed what we can now perceive as a nascent ecological perspective on literature in a changing world. Gidal examines the details of these imaginary geographies in conjunction with the social and spatial histories of Belfast and the River Lagan valley, Glasgow and the Firth of Clyde, and the Highlands and Western Isles of Scotland, regions that form both the sixth-century kingdom of Dál Riata and the fabled terrain of the Ossianic poems. Combining environmental and industrial histories with the reception of the poems of Ossian, Ossianic Unconformities unites literary history and book studies with geography, cartography, and geology to present and consider imaginative responses to environmental catastrophe.
Download or read book Samuel Johnson the Ossian Fraud and the Celtic Revival in Great Britain and Ireland written by Thomas M. Curley and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2009-04-16 with total page 339 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: James Macpherson's famous hoax, publishing his own poems as the writings of the ancient Scots bard Ossian in the 1760s, remains fascinating to scholars as the most successful literary fraud in history. This study presents the fullest investigation of his deception to date, by looking at the controversy from the point of view of Samuel Johnson. Johnson's dispute with Macpherson was an argument with wide implications not only for literature, but for the emerging national identities of the British nations during the Celtic revival. Thomas M. Curley offers a wealth of genuinely new information, detailing as never before Johnson's involvement in the Ossian controversy, his insistence on truth-telling, and his interaction with others in the debate. The appendix reproduces a rare pamphlet against Ossian written with the assistance of Johnson himself. This book will be an important addition to knowledge about both the Ossian controversy and Samuel Johnson.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Ossianic Controversy: A Lecture Delivered to the Greenock Highland Society Mr Skene, in his Introduction and Notes to the nirsgeuls of Ossian collected by the. Dean of Lismore, ascribes their authorship to Mr Lachlan Macpherson of Strathmashie. He founds his argument upon some vague rumour he had heard while residing in the neighbourhood of Strathmashie, concerning mss. Found among Mr Macpherson's papers at his death. But are we to believe such vague reports? There is no doubt that Strathmashie did much in aiding his clans man in collecting Gaelic mss., in transcribing and revising them; but we cannot believe that he was the author of any of them. He was indeed a poet, and a poet of no mean order, but quite incapable of singing in the sublime and heroic strains of the aged Bard. The pieces he has left us are the best proof of this. The most common opinion among those who reject the authenticity of the Ossianic poetry, is that James Macpherson himself is the author; that he composed the various pieces in English, and afterwards translated them into Gaelic. The Highland Society Committee, in their excellent report, candidly acknowledge that they were unable to find among the natives of the Highlands poems exactly the same as those given to the world by Macpherson they also acknowledged that Macpherson may have supplied chasms, and softened incidents.
