Description:This is the first book-length study of James Macpherson (1736-1796) that considers him as an historian.

Macpherson the Historian examines James’ published works, from the neoclassical verse of The Highlander ( 1758) to his pamphlets defending the British imperial state during the late 1770s. 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.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
