Abstract
This article looks at the evidence for Ossianic influence on the young Tieck, focusing in particular on his contribution to Rambach's gothic novel, Die eiserne Maske, and the two unpublished verse epics 'Iwona' and 'Gesang des Barden Congal'. 'Iwona' is demonstrably very close in plot and names of characters to Die eiserne Maske, one of several reasons given for ascribing it to Tieck. It is also close to 'Gesang des Barden Congal', with which, as an altogether more substantial piece of work and one hitherto totally ignored by critics, much of the essay concerns itself.
