Book Description

An excellent case-bound copy of the rare First Edition preserving the original wrappers & lettered to the spine. Crown 8vo.(7½"X4½") 109pps with appendix. The distinguished Historian and Bristol City Librarian takes a learned and critical look at the annals of the city, challenging long-held assertions, illuminating the blurred lines between recorded fact and folklore. Of particular interest is the section on Thomas Chatterton with a chapter dedicated to Thomas Rowley and a newly published interview with Chatterton's niece, providing fresh details about the poet's family and life. A key piece of 19thc Chatterton scholarship.
