Abstract

Thomas Chatterton, posthumous child of a school teacher, was one of the little-known English poets of the late 18th. Century. He made a remarkable contribution in the field of English Romantic movement, also known as romantic revival and the romantic revolt. He was in fact its leader for he formulated its creed and gave to it a conscious direction and a purpose but he remained a victim of misfortune for a long time. This movement was later followed by William Wordsworth, S.T. Coleridge, P.B. Shelley, John Keats, Lord Byron, D.G. Rossetti and others. This research article aims at studying the co- relation between Chatterton and the greater poets of the Romantic Revival.
