Synopsis
Excerpt from Ossian and the Ossianic Literature
I have left unaltered the words of advice which, in 1899, I addressed to students desirous of advanc ing the interpretation of Ossianic legend by original work. So far they have been entirely neglected in both sections of Gaeldom. The School of Irish Learn ing established in the interval naturally and rightly directed the attention of its students in the first place to older and less known sections of Irish literature it may, however, be hoped that Professor Bergin will set some of his pupils to work on Ossianic texts. Further, the new Irish University should bring into the field a number of enthusiastic and scientifically trained students. Should a new edition of this study be called for at my hands, I trust I may have to record substantial advance in our knowledge and appreciation of every section of Ossianic litera ture.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book explores the rich and multifaceted world of Ossianic literature, a vast collection of Gaelic texts that recount the legendary exploits of the warrior Finn Mac Cumhail and his band of followers. Spanning centuries of oral tradition, these tales have captivated generations with their captivating blend of heroism, magic, and timeless themes.
