Thomas Chatterton, reconnu comme un génie par des contemporains tels que Byron, Keats et Shelley, connut peu de succès au cours de sa brève vie. Écrivant sous le nom de plume de Thomas Rowley, sa poésie pseudo-médiévale acquit une importance historique malgré sa mort prématurée à dix-sept ans. L'héritage de Chatterton réside dans sa contribution singulière à la littérature, ses vers pseudo-médiévaux annonçant le mouvement romantique.
