Abstract
The image of Thomas Chatterton in the English poetry of the XVIII–XIX centuries is analyzed in the article. The peculiarities of perceiving his personality and art as well as the burning social and cultural issues awoke by his tragic life are considered in the works of T. Carey, S.T. Coleridge, E. Rushton, M. Robinson, W. Wordsworth, J. Keats and preraphaelite D. G. Rossetti. Special attention is paid to the variety of the artistic means used by the authors for creating Chatterton’s tragic and sublime figure and also to the reasoning on the out and the reverse side of poetry and art in general. On the bases of the analyzed material we trace the tendency towards (we make a conclusion about) romanticizing Chatterton’s phenomenon and his significance not only as a poet who was one of the first to establish the romantic tradition but also as a vivid poetic image contributing to the thriving of this tradition.
