Bøger af Thomas Chatterton

Thomas Chatterton (1752-70), Wordsworth's 'marvellous boy', died aged only seventeen, but his legacy influenced the Romantics for decades. First published in 1803, this three-volume collection brings together his works. Volume 1 includes his earliest poetry, alongside George Gregory's biographical account (also reissued separately in this series).

There is more to Thomas Chatterton than the romantic archetype. This selection, with its detailed notes, shows the historical significance and unexpected range of Chatterton's poetry, and also enables the reader to enjoy it for its rich resonance and wonderfully memorable rhythms.
