About this book
Ossian in Germany is by Rudolf Tombo, and its title page lists Bibliography, General Survey, and Ossian's Influence upon Klopstock and the Bards. The preface says that when the subject of Ossian's influence in Germany first occurred to the author, it seemed a simple matter to exhaust the topic in the limits set by a work of this character. The preface says the amount of material discovered at the outset in the British Museum led to the preparation of a card index of German Ossianiana.
A bibliographic note says the author of a review of the Works of Ossian, Third Edition, 1765, is Albrecht von Haller. The text says a bereavement cast a deep shadow over Klopstock, so much so that for several years he wrote little poetry. A note says the earliest impulse of any import toward the introduction of Norse mythology proceeded from Gerstenberg's Lied eines Skalden (1766), which exerted a wide influence.
