Poems

""Poems: Supposed To Have Been Written At Bristol By Thomas Rowley And Others In The Fifteenth Century"" is a collection of poems attributed to the fictional 15th-century poet Thomas Rowley, supposedly discovered by the author, Thomas Chatterton. The poems include historical and romantic themes, with a focus on medieval England. The book was published in 1778, and caused controversy due to Chatterton's claims of discovering the poems in an old chest in Bristol. While some believed the poems to be authentic, others accused Chatterton of forgery. The book is considered an important work in the history of English literature, as it helped to inspire the Romantic movement and the revival of interest in 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.
