Works Wrongly Attributed to Chatterton
Wrongly Attributed Works - to be reconsidered : Donald S. Taylor, author of the definitive The Complete Works of Thomas Chatterton, clearly marks the following Wrongly Attributed Works as not by Chatterton, however, I must offer them for reconsideration, simply as part of TCMP process.
​
I use a light green, white, or cream background to indicate individual items. The layout approximates to chronological order. The blue 'View' link will take you to the Control Page for the individual work, which will contain the various versions of the work, including the original manuscript, if it exists and is available. This is a big task, so some of the Control Pages will contain only basic information while I strive to populate them. I am always ready to help if anyone needs information on anything related to Chatterton.
