James Macpherson

    James Macpherson staat bekend als de "vertaler" van de Ossian-cyclus, een verzameling epische gedichten die Europese lezers betoverden. Hij presenteerde deze werken als oude Keltische verzen, met name een epos over de held Fingal. Deze gedichten behaalden aanzienlijk internationaal succes en werden geprezen als een Keltisch equivalent van klassieke meesters zoals Homerus. Macpherson's vertalingen beïnvloedden tal van schrijvers, waaronder Walter Scott, en lieten een blijvende indruk achter op literaire stromingen in heel Duitsland, Hongarije en Frankrijk.
