A Vindication of the Appendix to the Poems Called Rowley's, in Reply to the Answers of the Dean of Exeter, Jacob Bryant, Esquire, and a Third Anonymou
In "A Vindication of the Appendix to the Poems Called Rowley's," Thomas Tyrwhitt defends the authenticity of the poems attributed to Thomas Rowley, a fictional 15th-century monk created by Thomas Chatterton. This meticulous reply addresses the arguments of prominent critics, including the Dean of Exeter and Jacob Bryant, who questioned the poems' provenance.
Tyrwhitt's work delves into the intricate details of the poems' language, style, and historical context, providing a robust defense against accusations of forgery. This volume not only sheds light on the heated debates surrounding the Rowley poems but also offers valuable insights into 18th-century literary criticism and the ongoing fascination with Chatterton's enigmatic creation. "A Vindication" remains a significant contribution to the study of literary authenticity and the complexities of poetic attribution.
