Excerpt from The Life of Thomas Chatterton, Including His Unpublished Poems and Correspondence
Sixty-seven years have elapsed since the death of Thomas Chatterton; and his memoirs, which have appeared from several pens, seemed to the author of this biography to have held up the shadowed side of his brief life to public observation, and to have. Studiously concealed those traits in his character, which should have rescued him from the ill nature of those who neglected him whilst living, and traduced him when dead. Much information respecting the marvellous boy having fallen into the author's hands.

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book offers a detailed exploration of Thomas Chatterton, a child prodigy from the 18th century who made significant contributions to the literary and historical landscape. The author draws on extensive research and primary source documents including letters, manuscripts, and contemporary accounts to paint a vivid portrait of Chatterton's life and work. The author positions Chatterton's remarkable talent within the literary context of forgery and antiquarianism that was prevalent during the 18th century. By juxtaposing Chatterton's life with literary giants such as Pope and Wordsworth, the author sheds light on the complexities of authenticity, authorship, and literary genius. This book delves into the thematic depth of Chatterton's work, exploring the intricate interplay of imagination, historical fabrication, and personal disillusionment that characterized his writings. Through a close examination of Chatterton's most famous works, including the Rowley poems and the tragedy of "Aella," the author uncovers the richness of his poetic vision and the profound insights he offered into human nature. The book concludes by reflecting on the enduring legacy of Chatterton's work, arguing that despite his tragic end, his writings continue to captivate and intrigue readers, offering a timeless exploration of the human condition and the complexities of artistic creation. 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 9781331118169_0
