So far his appearance might have repelled; but, onthe other hand, the concurrent testimony of many witnesses, and also thesilent testimony of facts, showed that the oiliness and snaky insinuationof his demeanor counteracted the repulsiveness of his ghastly face, andamongst inexperienced young women won for him a very favorable reception.In particular, one gentle-mannered girl, whom Williams had undoubtedlydesigned to murder, gave in evidence--that once, when sitting alone withher, he had said, 'Now, Miss R., supposing that I should appear aboutmidnight at your bedside, armed with a carving knife, what would you say?'To which the confiding girl had, replied, 'Oh, Mr. Williams, if it wasanybody else, I should be frightened. But, as soon as I heard your voice, I should be tranquil.' Poor girl! had this outline sketch of Mr.Williams been filled in and realized, she woRead More

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Confessions of an English Opium-Eater remains its author’s most famous and frequently-read work and one of the period’s central statements about both the power and terror of imagination. De Quincey describes the intense “pleasures” and harrowing “pains” of his opium use in lyrical and dramatic prose. A notorious success since its 1821 publication, the work has been an important influence on philosophers, theorists, and psychologists, as well as literary writers, of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. But Confessions is only one part of a larger confessional project conceived by De Quincey over the course of his writing career. Gathered together in this edition, these texts provide a fascinating glimpse of early nineteenth-century British aesthetic, medical, psychological, political, philosophical, social, racial, national, and imperialist attitudes. This edition includes the 1821 text of Confessions, its important sequel Suspiria de Profundis (1845), and its sequel, The English Mail-Coach (1849), as well as extensive appendices.

He has generally been treated by those who have spoken of him in print as a madman. But this is a mistake and must have been founded chiefly on the titles of his books. He was a man of fervid mind and of sublime aspirations: but he was no madman; or, if he was, then I say that it is so far desirable to be a madman. In 1798 or 1799, when I must have been about thirteen years old, Walking Stewart was in Bath-where my family at that time resided. He frequented the pump-room, and I believe all public places-walking up and down, and dispersing his philosophic opinions to the right and the left, like a Grecian philosopher. The first time I saw him was at a concert in the Upper Rooms; he was pointed out to me by one of my party as a very eccentric man who had walked over the habitable globe. I remember that Madame Mara was at that moment singing: and Walking Stewart, who was a true lover of music (as I afterwards came to know), was hanging upon her notes like a bee upon a jessamine flower. His countenance was striking, and expressed the union of benignity with philosophic habits of thought."

Heavens! what a revulsion! what an upheaving, from its lowest depths, of the inner spirit! what an apocalypse of the world within me!' Thomas De Quincey's Confessions of an English Opium-Eater (1821) launched a fascination with drug use and abuse that has continued from his day to ours. In the Confessions De Quincey invents recreational drug taking, but he also details both the lurid nightmares that beset him in the depths of his addiction as well as his humiliatingly futile attempts to renounce the drug. Suspiria de Profundis centres on the deep afflictions of De Quincey's childhood, and examines the powerful and often paradoxical relationship between drugs and human creativity. In 'The English Mail-Coach', the tragedies of De Quincey's past are played out with horrifying repetitiveness against a backdrop of Britain as a Protestant and an imperial power. This edition presents De Quincey's finest essays in impassioned autobiography, together with three appendices that are highlighted by a wealth of manuscript material related to the three main texts. ABOUT THE SERIES: For over 100 years Oxford World's Classics has made available the widest range of literature from around the globe. Each affordable volume reflects Oxford's commitment to scholarship, providing the most accurate text plus a wealth of other valuable features, including expert introductions by leading authorities, helpful notes to clarify the text, up-to-date bibliographies for further study, and much more.

Book excerpt: Confessions of an English Opium Eater: Being an Extract from the Life of a Scholar by Thomas De Quincey. Confessions of an English Opium-Eater (1821) is an autobiographical account written by Thomas De Quincey, about his laudanum addiction and its effect on his life. The Confessions was "the first major work De Quincey published and the one which won him fame almost overnight..." First published anonymously in September and October 1821 in the London Magazine, the Confessions was released in book form in 1822, and again in 1856, in an edition revised by De Quincey. The Confessions maintained a place of primacy in De Quincey's literary output, and his literary reputation, from its first publication; "it went through countless editions, with only occasional intervals of a few years, and was often translated. Since there was little systematic study of narcotics until long after his death, De Quincey's account assumed an authoritative status and actually dominated the scientific and public views of the effects of opium for several generations."

First published anonymously in September and October 1821 in the London Magazine, the Confessions It was released as a book in 1822, and again in 1856, in an edition reviewed by De Quincey. As originally published, De Quincey's account was organized in two parts: Part I begins with a notice "To the reader", to establish the narrative framework: "Here I present you, polite reader, with the record of a remarkable period in my life ... ", followed by the substance of Part I, Preliminary Confessions, dedicated to the author's childhood and youth, and focused on the emotional and psychological factors that underlie subsequent experiences with opium, especially the period in his teens that De Quincey spent as a homeless fugitive on Oxford Street in London in 1802 and 1803.Part II is divided into several sections: A relatively brief introduction and a connecting passage, followed by The Pleasures of Opium, which analyzes the early and largely positive phase of the author's experience with the drug, from 1804 to 1812; Introduction to the Dolores del Opio, which offers a second installment of autobiography, taking De Quincey from youth to maturity.
