The Autobiography & Confessions Of Thomas De Quincey
Published by George Newnes Limited: London c1920

"The Autobiography & Confessions of Thomas De Quincey, published by George Newnes Limited in London, brings together the writer's personal reflections with his most famous work, Confessions of an English Opium-Eater. The volume traces De Quincey's life from his childhood and education through his struggles with poverty, intellectual ambition, and eventual addiction to opium. His autobiographical sections provide vivid accounts of his early wanderings, encounters with notable figures, and the personal hardships that shaped his character and outlook.

Alongside these recollections, the Confessions remain central to the book, offering a powerful, introspective narrative of both the pleasures and the torments of opium use. De Quincey combines literary artistry with psychological depth, examining how addiction affected his body, mind, and creativity. Together, the autobiography and confessions create a portrait of a complex, gifted, and troubled figure whose candid revelations influenced later writers and secured his place as a distinctive voice in nineteenth-century English literature."
