A Small Tribute to the Memory of Ossian: Containing an Original Method of Vindicating the Authenticity of his Poems (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781171928171)

"A Small Tribute to the Memory of Ossian" presents an early 19th-century defense of the authenticity of the Ossianic poems. Penned by Thomas Meek, this work offers an original method for validating the poems attributed to the legendary Gaelic bard Ossian, whose purported translations by James Macpherson ignited a literary firestorm in the late 18th century.

Meek's tribute seeks to rehabilitate Ossian's reputation and affirm the poems' genuine roots in Scottish oral tradition. Scholars and enthusiasts of Scottish literature and Romanticism will find this a valuable contribution to the ongoing debate surrounding the Ossian controversy.
