Thomas Chatterton, The Marvelous Boy: The Story Of A Strange Life, 1752-1770 is a biographical work written by Charles Edward Russell and published in 1908. The book tells the story of Thomas Chatterton, a young poet who lived in Bristol, England during the 18th century. Chatterton was known for his extraordinary talent and his ability to write in the style of medieval literature. He claimed to have discovered a cache of ancient manuscripts, which he used as the basis for his own work. However, his writings were not well-received during his lifetime and he struggled with poverty and depression. Chatterton ultimately took his own life at the age of 17. Russell's book provides a detailed account of Chatterton's life and work, including his relationships with his family, his struggles as a writer, and the cultural and historical context in which he lived. The book is a fascinating exploration of a unique and tragic figure in 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.
