About This Book

The study assembles a chronological bibliography of German translations, imitations, critical reviews, and related artistic and musical responses to the Ossianic poems, compiled from extensive library research and a card index of sources. It provides a general survey of the poems’ reception in German-speaking areas and traces the earliest notices and translations. A concentrated literary discussion analyzes the influence on Klopstock and a circle of bardic imitators, treating several individual poets and minor figures. Supplementary material includes methodological remarks, an index, and pointers for further research on later German authors influenced by the poems.
