About “The Grave Tattoo”

When torrential summer rains uncover a bizarrely tattooed body on a Lake District hillside, old wives' tales resurface about Fletcher Christian returning to the Lake District after the Pitcairn massacre and telling his story to William Wordsworth, who allegedly wrote a hidden narrative poem based on it. Jane Gresham, a Wordsworth specialist and native of the Lake District, investigates whether the manuscript of this poem ever existed and if it still survives.
