Abstract:
This article argues that postcolonial thought can be used as a tool for thinking about the present in the Scottish Highlands. Taking a case study of collaborative inquiry between local communities, High Life Highland (the body responsible for cultural services in the region) and the University of the Highlands and Islands into the work and legacies of the poet and historian James Macpherson (1736–1796), it examines the way in which the approach and ideas of postcolonialism can be used to better understand the past and critically engage communities in exploring their history.

Abstract:
This thesis explores James Macpherson’s The Highlander (1758) in relation to originality, Scottish identity and historiography. It also situates the Ossianic Collections in the context of Macpherson’s earlier poetical and later historical works. There are three parts to it: a biographical sketch of Macpherson’s early life, the annotated edition of The Highlander, and discursive commentary chapters. By examining The Highlander in detail this thesis questions the emphasis of other Macpherson criticism on the Ossianic Collections, and allows us to see him as a writer who is historically minded, v

Abstract:
Qui est Ossian ? Qu'est-ce que l'ossianisme en peinture ? La plupart des historiens de l'art ont généralement en tête une image du personnage et du genre de peinture à laquelle ces termes font référence. Les poèmes d'Ossian, barde-guerrier du IIIe siècle après Jésus Christ, sont traduits et regroupés par James Macpherson, qui s'avère être plus l'auteur de ces chants qu'un simple traducteur. La supercherie n'empêche pas le public d'apprécier cette oeuvre ni les artistes d'adhérer aux sentiments mélancolique et macabre qui en font la beauté.

Abstract:
Melchiorre Cesarotti (1730-1808) produced a blank verse translation into Italian of the rhythmic prose of James Macpherson's Ossian. On the basis of the numerous amendments to be found the three subsequent Italian editions of the Ossian (Padoa 1763 and 1772, Pisa, 1801), it could never be ascertained which English editions had served as source text for Cesarotti's translations and whether Italian variations could be led back to similar variations in the the English texts, or whether they were rather the independent and unwarranted work of the Italian translator.
