In 1770 the 17-year-old poet Thomas Chatterton, tormented by a sense of failure, committed suicide in his garret room. Within a few years he was transformed into a legend. This title explores the development, pervasiveness and astonishing persistence of the Chatterton legend, throwing light on the writers and artists who admired him.
