Thomas Chatterton (1752-70) was the author of the forged Rowley poems, which he claimed were transcribed from the work of a fifteenth-century monk. When this biography first appeared in 1789, the provenance of the poems was still disputed, and George Gregory (1754-1808) seeks here to clear Chatterton's name.
