James Macpherson

    James Macpherson je škótsky autor, ktorý sa preslávil ako „prekladateľ“ epických básní známych ako Ossianský cyklus. Tvrdil, že objavil a preložil staroveké keltské eposy, z ktorých najznámejšia je báseň o hrdinovi Fingalovi. Tieto básne dosiahli medzinárodný úspech a boli považované za keltský náprotivok klasických autorov ako Homér. Dielo ovplyvnilo mnohých spisovateľov, vrátane mladého Waltera Scotta, a silno rezonovalo v nemecky hovoriacich krajinách, kde inšpirovalo básnikov ako Goethe, ako aj v Maďarsku a Francúzsku.
