EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the title page of "An enquiry into the authenticity of the poems ascribed to Ossian" by William Shaw, published in 1781. The English School from the 18th century beautifully captured this piece, which is now part of a private collection. William Shaw, an esteemed author and scholar (1749-1831), delves into the intriguing narrative surrounding Ossian, who is both the narrator and alleged author of a series of poems. These poems were claimed to have been translated by Scottish poet James Macpherson (1736-96) from ancient sources in Scots Gaelic. However, doubts regarding their authenticity arose among many. Shaw's book focuses on this very subject - questioning whether these renowned poems are indeed genuine or not. Published by J. Murray during that time period, it became a significant publication within Georgian literature. The title page itself exudes an air of mystery and intrigue with its elegant typography and design elements typical for that era. It serves as a visual representation of Shaw's meticulous analysis and critical examination of these poetic works attributed to Ossian. This image transports us back to a time when literary debates sparked intellectual curiosity and artistic exploration flourished. It invites us to delve deeper into the world of poetry while contemplating questions about cultural heritage, linguistic origins, and historical accuracy raised by Shaw's thought-provoking work on Ossian's poems.
