James Macpherson (as 'translator' of Ossian) : The Death of Cuchullin

Hugh Stuart Boyd to Elizabeth Barrett, in hand of amanuensis, letter postmarked 3 March 1843: 'Since I last wrote to you expressly on the Poems of Ossian; I have read another, called, The death of Cuthullin [sic]. I found, that it contained the idea you admired so much, about the darkened half of the moon, behind its growing light [...] Harriet Holmes who read it to me, thought it finer than the other [?Carric-thura]. I myself am doubtfull [sic] about it.'

Century: 1800-1849     Reader/Listener/Group: Harriet Holmes      Print: Book
