To Which are Added, a Preface, an Introductory Account of the Several Pieces, and a Glossary.
London (The Scolar Press 1973) 8vo. stiff paper wrappers. (iv), xxvii, 307 pages.
Facsimile reprint of the 1777 first edition, second printing. (Rothschild 589; Ashley Library Catalogue Volume 10, p.75 where Wise reproduces the title page facing page 75). With a two page introductory note unique to this printing. Chatterton was born in Bristol in 1752 and died by suicide in his 17th year. Considered to be insane, he nevertheless created a series of forged poems attributed to Thomas Rowley that he claimed to have found in the muniment room of Saint Mary Redcliffe. The poems were so well executed that a great controversy arose in English literary circles as to their authenticity. This book exposes the literary fraud but, by no means, stopped the controversy.
