Quincey T.de, Confessions of an English opium-eater and Other writings — 2008 (Penguin books)

Confessions is a remarkable account of the pleasures and pains of worshipping at the 'Church of Opium'.Thomas De Quincey consumed daily large quantities of laudanum (at the time a legal painkiller),and this autobiography of addiction hauntingly describes his surreal visions and hallucinatory noctural wanderings though London, along with the nightmares, despair and paranoia to which he became prey.The result is a work in which the effects of drugs and the nature of dreams, memory and imagination are seamlessly interwoven.Confessions forged a link between artistic self-expression and addiction, paving the way fot later generations of literary drug-users from Baudelaire to Burroughs, and anticipating psychoanalysis with its insights into the subconscious.This edition is based on the original serial version of 1821, and reproduces the two 'sequels', 'Suspiria de Profundis' (1845) and 'The English Mail-Coach' (1849).It also includes a critical introduction discussing the romantic figure of the addict and the tradition of confessional literature, and an appendix on opium in the nineteenth century.

Quincey T. de, Recollections of the Lakes and the Lake Poets — 1980

This book is only part of De Quincey's prolific writings, which taken together form his autobiography. The frankness with which he wrote about Wordsworth, Southey, Coleridge and their lives at Grasmere provoked a storm on publication.

Williams W.E., A Book of English Essays — 1977

"One of the most notable and attractive forms of English Literature is the essay. In his introduction to this selection, first made for Pelican in 1942 and now enlarged and reprinted, Sir William Emrys Williams points out that the Essay, —has a multitude of forms and manners, and scarcely any rules and regulations.— Although many of the pieces chosen for this volume are such well-known ones as Charles Lamb—s —In Praise of Chimney Sweepers— or De Quincy—s memorable commentary on an episode in —Macbeth—, an endeavour has been made to remind readers that Addison, for example, wrote other and better essays than the few which are usually included in anthologies. Modern writers such as Hilaire Belloc, JB Priestly, Aldous Huxley, Robert Lynd, Ivor Brown, Harold Nicholson. EV Lucas, and VS Pritchett are given a fair share of representation."
