Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book is an analysis of the medieval poems attributed to Thomas Rowley, a 15th-century monk, and their origins in the poetic trends of the time. The author contends that these poems, while compelling in their own right, were unlikely to have been written in the 15th century, given their distinct linguistic features that resemble regional dialects of the 1760s and 1770s, when the poems were supposedly rediscovered. The book uses linguistic evidence, contemporary accounts, and historical analysis to argue that the poems' true author was Thomas Chatterton, a poet and literary scholar living over 300 years after Rowley's supposed lifetime. The author explores the implications of this revelation, examining the nature of authenticity and originality in literary history, and uncovering the ways in which emerging literary movements can draw upon and transform the past. Ultimately, the book offers new insights into the complex relationship between literature, language, and the passage of time. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. N° de réf. du vendeur 9780282445799_0
