4.0 out of 5 stars Weighty but Worthwhile, August 22, 2001

By	M. Hartman (East Coast, Etats-Unis) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I read this book while preparing a paper on Ossian. Ms. Stafford is, in my opinion, the leading authority on Macpherson. She has a keen understanding of the perspectives that contributed to the creation and the stigmatising of Macpherson and his epic poem Ossian. He is a figure worthy of study and the author paints a very detailed picture of Macpherson and the 18th century Edinburgh literati. It is truly a tragedy that the merits of this work (and of Macpherson himself) have been relegated to a secondary status as a footnote to 18th century literature, while lesser works have become part of the sacred "canon". With this book Fiona Stafford begins a reassessment of Ossian and Macpherson, that seeks to restore this wonderful work to the literary prominence it so strongly deserves. This is a very readable study, though it could prove a bit dry for the casual reader.
