Set in 18th-century England, the narrative follows Thomas Chatterton, a prodigious 11-year-old poet who deceives the literary elite by attributing his works to a fictional 15th-century poet. Despite his talent and efforts to gain recognition, he struggles against poverty and ultimately succumbs to despair at just seventeen. His legacy influenced major Romantic poets like Coleridge and Wordsworth. This edition features his complete poetical works, including various poems and plays, alongside John Keats' tribute sonnet, showcasing Chatterton's enduring impact on literature.
