Chatterton's Correspondence

The list below contains all of Chatterton's known correspondence. It excludes the 'letters' and poems, which he wrote for publication in the  monthly magazines; such as the poems to Eleanor Hoyland and the other girls of his acquaintance; these are listed in Authentic Works :  View

​

The letters, or mini groups of letters, are shown on a light green, white, or yellow background to indicate individual items or groups.  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.
