Book Overview
Observations Upon the Poems of Thomas Rowley, Volume 1, delves into the controversy surrounding the authenticity of the medieval poems attributed to Thomas Rowley and purportedly written by the 15th-century monk, Thomas Rowley. Authored by Thomas Chatterton and Jacob Bryant, this volume presents a detailed examination and defense of the poems' genuine nature.
Bryant's meticulous analysis explores the historical context, language, and internal evidence of the "Rowley Poems," seeking to validate their origin and authorship. This work offers invaluable insights into the literary debates of the late 18th century, providing a fascinating glimpse into the world of literary forgery and the challenges of historical authentication. It remains a significant text for scholars of Chatterton, 18th-century literature, and the broader history of literary criticism.
