Synopsis
An Essay On The Evidence: External And Internal, Relating To The Poems Attributed To Thomas Rowley. Containing A General View Of The Whole Controversy by Thomas James Mathias examines the long-standing debate over the authenticity of the poems attributed to the 15th-century Bristol figure Thomas Rowley. Mathias structures the inquiry around two kinds of evidence: External Evidence—testimonies, publications, and discovered manuscripts connected to Rowley and the later vindications by scholars such as Milles, Bryant, Warton, Catcott, and Barret, as well as accounts of Thomas Chatterton’s role in producing or fabricating the materials; and Internal Evidence—the stylistic, linguistic, historical, and metrical features of the Rowley poems, contrasted with Chatterton’s known writings. The work includes a prefatory essay, an index of publications on the subject, and appendices reflecting on language and antiquity. Mathias argues for a cautious, probabilistic evaluation of claims, urging readers to weigh witnesses and texts with clarity and fairness rather than rash certainty. The volume stands as a foundational, polemical contribution to literary criticism and the history of literary forgery debates in the 18th century.
