Book Summary
This book explores Oscar Wilde's fascination with the eighteenth-century forger
Thomas Chatterton, who tragically took his life at the age of seventeen. This
innovative study combines a scholarly monograph with a textual edition of the
extensive notes that Wilde took on the brilliant forger who inspired not only
Coleridge, Wordsworth, and Keats but also Victorian artists and authors. Bristow
and Mitchell argue that Wilde's substantial "Chatterton" notebook, which
previous scholars have deemed a work of plagiarism, is central to his
development as a gifted writer of criticism, drama, fiction, and poetry. This
volume reveals that Wilde's research on Chatterton informs his deepest
engagements with Romanticism, plagiarism, and forgery,
