ABSTRACT
In the first section of this book we saw how The Poems of Ossian, at least in the shape of 'The Battle of Lora', can be read in terms of a revisionist notion of cultural compromise. However we also saw how this compromise was articulated through the romance rather than the conventionally assumed epic mode. Leaving behind the nuts and bolts of romance theory and practice, the second half of this book considers at greater length the themes and preoccupations identified within the course of elaborating the notion of the romance Ossian.
