Abstract

Thomas Griffiths Wainewright, a talented writer, mixed with the leading figures of the literary scene in Georgian London; as an artist he exhibited at the Royal Academy, but he was also a profligate dandy and swindler. For 150 years he has also been damned as a murderer who poisoned three of his relations to pay his debts. New research has uncovered quite a different story about his extraordinary life.
