9781443733670 / Confessions of an English Opium-Eater Hardcover – November 4, 2008
by Pomona Press (November 4, 2008) (Author)
This vintage book comprises ‘Confessions of an English Opium-Eater’; an autobiographical account of Thomas De Quincey’s opium addiction and the effect that it had on his life. This text was the first major book that De Quincey published, and one that made him famous in a very short period of time. De Quincey’s Confessions assumed an authoritative influence on the public, as well as scientific opinion of opium for several generations. It went through almost innumerable editions and revisions despite the fact that he was generally criticised for putting too much emphasis on the positive aspects of opium intoxication. Thomas Penson De Quincey (1785 – 1859) was an English essayist who was most renowned for writing this book. We are republishing this vintage work now in an affordable, modern edition complete with a new prefatory biography of the author.
