Tales of London: Chatterton: The Allington Solution by Peter Ackroyd. BBC RADIO DRAMA

Chatterton: The Allington Solution
Who or what killed the boy genius Thomas Chatterton? For over two hundred years, everyone thought he committed suicide, a neglected poet driven to despair. Everyone, that is, except Jeremy Allington, a literary historian, who thinks the prevailing wisdom is nonsense. Only he isn't quite as polite as that …
Dangerously close to losing his job and his partner, Allington is determined to prove that history is not as simple as some historians would have us believe.
