Overview

"Ossian in Germany" by Rudolf Tombo is a scholarly work written in the mid-20th century. The book explores the influence of Ossian's poetry in Germany, focusing particularly on the reception of his works among notable German authors, including Klopstock and the Bards. It serves as a bibliographic guide while also surveying the broader cultural and literary impact of Ossian's writings in German literature. The opening of the book outlines the author's initial approach to examining Ossian's influence, which evolved into a more comprehensive bibliographic endeavor than originally anticipated. It describes the challenges encountered in gathering material, leading to the creation of a chronological bibliography of German Ossianiana, which is intended to provide a structured overview along with discussions of Ossian's impact on prominent German literary figures. Tombo acknowledges the support of various professors and librarians in compiling this extensive bibliographic reference. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
