MACPHERSON'S OSSIAN AND THE OSSIAxNIC CONTROVERSY

A CONTRIBUTION TOWARDS A BIBLIOGRAPHY

By George F. Black, Ph.D.

INTRODUCTORY NOTE

"Osslafiy sublimesty simplest bard of all Whom English infidels Macfherson call.

JAMES MACPHERSON, a young Highland schoolmaster and poet, born at Ruthven in the parish of Kingussie, Inverness-shire, in 1736, became tutor to the son of Mr. Graham of Balgowan in 1759. In the course of his travels with young Balgowan (who afterwards became Lord Lynedoch) he met at Moffat Wells the Rev. John Home, author of the now forgotten tragedy of Douglas, to whom he showed what he said were fragments of ancient Gaelic poetry still recited in the Highlands. One of the pieces, The Death of Oscar, he translated at Home's request. It greatly pleased Home, the Rev. Dr. Alexander Carlyle, and others, and when Macpherson produced and translated some fifteen or sixteen more pieces, they strongly urged him to publish them. They were finally turned over to the Rev. Dr. Hugh Blair, Professor of Rhetoric in the University of Edin- burgh, for that purpose, and ihey appeared in a thin volume in July 1 760 Scotland, and as Fragments of Ancient Poetry collected in the Highlands of translated from the Galic or Erse language, with an introduction by Blair, who declared the poems to be "genuine remains of ancient Scottish poetry." Professor Adam Ferguson, John Home, Dr. Blair, Dr. Robertson the his- Gray, torian, with other competent judges, were loud in their praise. Thomas were the poet, also thought well of them, but was doubtful "whether they was the invention of antiquity or of a modern Scotchman." A subscription object of raised to enable Macpherson to return to the Highlands with the

[7] 8 THE NEW YORK PUBLIC LIBRARY collecting other pieces, especially the longer poem or epic relating to the wars of Fingal, the existence of which was hinted at in the introduction to the Fragments. To all appearances the tour was successful, for in 1761 Mac- pherson published Fhigal, an epic in six books, and two years later Temora, in eight books.

It was assumed that as far back as the third century, in the remote High- lands and islands of Scotland, there existed a people who possessed not only noble and generous qualities of the highest type but also a strong poetic fervor which was nourished and kept aglow through the centuries down to our day. Some there were who had their doubts about the authenticity of the poems, others there were who disbelieved, but a still greater number clung to the idea, as Gibbon puts it, that "Fingal fought, and Ossian sang." By way of a test David Hume the philosopher put the question on a simple and concise issue: Show us the original poems and manuscripts from which you have made these translations and tell us how they have been preserved during so many centuries. To Hume's appeal Macpherson vouchsafed no answer. "The absurd pride and caprice of Macpherson himself, who scorns, as he pretends, to satisfy anybody that doubts his veracity," tended, as Hume says, to confirm the general scepticism. This scepticism threatened to dam- age the reputation of more than one of the critics, chief of whom was Dr. Blair, whose elaborate Critical dissertation on the foems of Ossian the son of Fingaly published in 1 763, was written "with more zeal than discretion." To combat this growing unbelief Dr. Blair procured from eleven persons of reputed authority in the Highlands letters in favor of the authenticity of the poems and affirming that at the time when Fingal and Temora were published there were several persons living in the Highlands and islands who had either old Gaelic manuscripts in their possession or could recite long passages from traditional Gaelic poetry similar in subject and composition to those published in English by Macpherson.

But this was not deemed sufficient to allay the suspicion which still clung to Macpherson, the doubters persistently demanded a sight of the original poems before the charge of fraud against him could be withdrawn. It was all without avail, the only "originals" existing being in the handwriting of Macpherson himself or in that of his amanuenses. On the continent of Europe, however, the effect of Macpherson's Ossian was wide and enduring. "The translation of Caesarotti initiated a new poetic school in Italy. In Germany, then going through its romantic stage, it was hailed with rapture. its Klopstock wrote turgid odes after worst style j MACPHERSON'S OSSIAN AND THE OSSIANIC CONTROVERSY 9

Herder gloried in itj Burger versified itj Schiller found rare beauty and grandeur in the life of Celtic past with its background of mistj and Goethe tried his skill in translating it; and his Werthery to express his agonised emotions, turned to the melancholy bard of the North, and in his strain pours forth his abject woes. Voltaire laughed his dry laughter like the crackling of thorns over it, and for a while France was unthralled. At last even it gave way to the spell, especially when Napoleon, who knew it through the Italian translation, and loved the grandiose, was moved to admiration for ^Ocean', as he spelt it, carrying it with him as his favourite reading during his campaigns. French parents found baptismal names for their children in its pages." Oscar I., King of Sweden, the son of Napoleon's marshal, Bernadotte, was named after the son of Fingal, and to this day Oscar has continued a favorite name in the Swedish royal family. "No competent Gaelic scholar," says Mr. G. M. Fraser, Librarian of the Aberdeen Public Library, "will be found in Elurope who would take up the attitude that Macpherson's work, either in respect of the Gaelic 'originals,' or the English translation, was authentic"; and he concludes: "it is much to the credit of Gaelic scholarship of our own time that, uninfluenced by racial feeling which previously must have affected impartial judgment of the work, can be it has finally rejected James Macpherson and his 'Ossian', which now set down as one of the most remarkable literary impostures that has hap- pened in Britain in modern times." It may be mentioned that the Library's collection of Ossiana has been greatly increased by the gift of a sum of money for that purpose from a gentleman who desires to be known simply as "F. H." To Mr. J. Norman for Methven, of St. Martin's, Perth, Scotland, the Library is also indebted the gift of several scarce editions, including a copy of the rare second edition of the Fragments.
