Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. This is the first book-length study of James Macpherson (1736-1796) that considers him as an historian. From his early poetry, to the Ossianic Collections, his prose histories, and his later political writing, Macpherson's subject was the past and he engaged with the latest Enlightenment theories about how to write history.

In all of these texts, Macpherson wrote as an Enlightenment historian, where ideas about narrative, philosophy, and erudition were interwoven with eighteenth-century debates about the Highlands, commercial modernity, and the British Empire. The first study of James Macpherson (1736-1796) as an historian examines his published works, showing how he was an Enlightement historian interweaving ideas of narrative,philosophy, with debates about commercial modernity and empire.
