After the massive success of his work ‘Fingal’ (see Bib# 4656328/Fr# 621 in this collection), Macpherson followed it up with the present work, another Ossianic poem, and reputed to be Napoleon’s favorite. This time it was nearly all of his own creation, and described by his modern editor Howard Gaskill as ‘almost entirely fraudulent.’ Macpherson provided a twenty-page ‘specimen’ of Book VII of ‘Temora’ in Erse in this volume, but back-translating the rest ‘was not a task to be relished, as Macpherson found to his cost, when [...] obliged to undertake it in the decade or so before his death’ (H. Gaskill, Ossian revisited. Edinburgh, 1991, p. 13). See ESTC, T137081.</span><br /></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:0.0001pt;text-align:justify;line-height:normal;"><span style="font-size:11.5pt;font-family:Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:0.0001pt;text-align:justify;line-height:normal;"><span style="font-size:11.5pt;font-family:Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size:11.5pt;font-family:Helvetica, sans-serif;"><a href="https://catalyst.library.jhu.edu/permalink/01JHU_INST/1lu78g9/alma991039123819707861" rel="nofollow">Click here to view the Johns Hopkins University catalog record.</a></span></span></p>
