Description
Thomas De Quincey's Confessions of an English Opium-Eater and Other Writings presents a deeply personal and thought-provoking exploration of addiction, creativity, and the human experience. Edited by Robert Morrison, this collection of essays offers a unique insight into De Quincey's life and work, including his experiences with opium and his struggles to overcome its hold. The book features three key essays: Confessions of an English Opium-Eater, Suspiria de Profundis, and The English Mail-Coach. Morrison's Introduction provides a comprehensive context for the works, while detailed annotation, a chronology of De Quincey's life, and a bibliography offer a rich resource for readers. The book also includes three appendices with previously unpublished manuscript material. This edition is part of the Oxford World's Classics series, a renowned collection of literature from around the globe.
