James Macpherson

    James Macpherson è celebrato come il "traduttore" del ciclo di Ossian, una raccolta di poemi epici che affascinarono i lettori europei. Presentò queste opere come antichi versi gaelici, in particolare un poema epico sull'eroe Fingal. Questi poemi ottennero un notevole successo internazionale, venendo acclamati come un corrispettivo celtico di maestri classici come Omero. Le traduzioni di Macpherson influenzarono profondamente numerosi scrittori, tra cui Walter Scott, e lasciarono un segno duraturo nei movimenti letterari in Germania, Ungheria e Francia.
