Dead at 17, Thomas Chatterton forged medieval poetry for a meager living. Yet he was eventually hailed as “the marvelous boy”, and enjoyed a posthumous career as a hero of the Romantic Movement, an unparalleled, archetypal and precocious genius. All it required was his death: a romantic suicide in a garret from an overdose of arsenic.
Except … maybe the forged poems were real. Possibly the poisoning was accidental overdose. And who actually wrote his poetical suicide note, the “Final Verses”?
