Chatterton: A Biography is a book written by David Masson that tells the story of Thomas Chatterton, a young English poet who lived in the 18th century. Chatterton was known for his talent as a writer and for his tragic death at the age of 17, which was caused by his inability to support himself financially.The book provides a detailed account of Chatterton's life, from his childhood in Bristol to his time in London, where he tried to make a name for himself as a writer. Masson explores Chatterton's relationships with his family, his friends, and his literary contemporaries, as well as his struggles with poverty, depression, and addiction.Through extensive research and analysis of Chatterton's writings, Masson offers insights into the young poet's literary influences and his innovative use of language and form. He also examines the controversy surrounding Chatterton's supposed discovery of medieval manuscripts, which some scholars believed to be forgeries.Overall, Chatterton: A Biography is a comprehensive and engaging portrait of a talented and tragic figure in English literary history.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
