Observations Upon The Poems Of Thomas Rowley

Observations Upon The Poems Of Thomas Rowley: In Which The Authenticity Of Those Poems Is Ascertained (1781) is a book by Jacob Bryant that explores the authenticity of the poems attributed to Thomas Rowley, a supposed medieval poet. The book provides a detailed analysis of the language, style, and content of the poems, and argues that they were not actually written by Rowley, but rather by the 18th-century poet Thomas Chatterton. Bryant presents evidence from historical documents and literary analysis to support his argument, and also discusses the controversy surrounding the authenticity of the poems. The book is considered an important work in the field of literary criticism and has had a significant impact on the study of medieval literature.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
