Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - ''An Essay On The Evidence, External And Internal, Relating To The Poems Attributed To Thomas Rowley'' is a book written by Thomas James Mathias in 1784. The book is an essay that discusses the authenticity of the poems attributed to Thomas Rowley, a supposed 15th-century poet. Mathias examines both external and internal evidence to determine whether Rowley was a real poet or a fabrication. The external evidence includes historical records and contemporary accounts, while the internal evidence refers to the style and language used in the poems. Mathias argues that the poems are not genuine and that they were likely written by Thomas Chatterton, a young poet who claimed to have discovered them. The book is an important contribution to the study of English literature and the history of literary forgery.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
