Thomas Chatterton Poems, Supposed to Have Been Written at Bristol, By Thomas Rowley, and Others, in the Fifteenth Centruy
London T Payne and Son 1778 Third Edition Disbound Fair
xxvii., 333pp.. 'To which is added, an appendix, containing some observations upon the language of these poems; tending to prove that they were written, not by any ancient author, but entirley by Thomas Chatterton' . This copy is disbound, with the remains of the spine still adhering. There is a 15mm. missing section to the top of the title page, but apart from that the text block is complete, if a little soiled and worn at the edge. Could be a candidate for a rebind? The DNB says - Chatterton was condemned as a literary forger and, by a perverse logic, all his writings became fraudulent. Only recently has Chatterton begun to assume his rightful and important place in the English literary tradition. In a shockingly brief career he none the less gave voice to an unparalleled range of literary possibility. From the obsessive, lost world of Thomas Rowley to the immediate blood-red savagery of political satire, Thomas Chatterton showed what could be done. [155]
