«Chatterton» is the mystery novel by Peter Ackroyd, published by Edicions 62 in paperback (272 pages, in Catalan).
The novel interweaves the historical figure of Thomas Chatterton, an eighteenth-century young poet famous for his medieval forgeries, with the investigation that a contemporary poet and an elderly novelist undertake in present-day London. It raises more enigmas than it resolves and reflects on life, art, and literary identity.
Originally published in 1987, this Catalan edition is a translation from the English by Jordi Civís Pol. It belongs to the El Balancí collection (no. 234).
For readers of historical fiction and literary mystery, with an interest in British literature and in plots about writers and forgeries.
Peter Ackroyd is an English novelist, biographer and critic with a specialist interest in the history and culture of London. He is noted for his "technically innovative novels", the volume of work he has produced, the range of styles therein, his skill at assuming different voices, and the depth of his research.
