Bristows Tragedy or
The Death of Sr Charles Bawdin
Written 1768 - Published 1772
Age: 15, Colston's School
One of Chatterton's
Most Famous Works.
Written when he was not quite 16!
The manuscript,
Is difficult to read
I have made adjustments
To make it clearer
The experts agree
The work
Is Chatterton's
The problem
Is the handwriting
Bristol Library
Has it as Chatterton's
Meyerstein accepts it as such
Taylor is sure that it is not!
A Nice Little Conundrum!

Allows us to compare this MS.
With the many other MSS.
