Book excerpt: The Posthumous Works of Thomas De Quincey, Vol. 1 by Thomas De Quincey These articles recovered from the MSS. of De Quincey will, the Editor believes, be found of substantive value. In some cases they throw fresh light on his opinions and ways of thinking; in other cases they deal with topics which are not touched at all in his collected works: and certainly, when read alongside the writings with which the public is already familiar, will give altogether a new idea of his range both of interests and activities. The 'Brevia, ' especially, will probably be regarded as throwing more light on his character and individualit.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Uncollected Writings of Thomas De Quincey, Vol. 1 of 2: With a Preface and Annotations The circumstances attending the composition of the four papers on The English in India and The English in China I have explained at some length in the introductory notices attached to them. And now for a confession! The 'gentle reader' may, perhaps, feel a momentary inclination to blame me when I reveal, that I rather stood in the way of some brilliant articles which were very seriously considered at this period. DE quincey was eager to write them, and I should have been glad indeed to have had them for Titan, but for a fear of allowing the Author to wander too far from the ever-present and irksome Works. Any possible escape - even through other downright hard work, from this perplexing labour was joyfully hailed by him as a hopeful chance of obtaining a prosperous holiday.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Collected Writings of Thomas De Quincey, Vol. 1: Autobiography From 1785 to 1803 IT was in 1852 that De Quincey, who was then sixty-seven years of age, and had been resident in or near Edinburgh through the preceding five-and-twenty years, began the pre paration of a collective edition Of his writings, to be published by the Edinburgh house of Mr. James Hogg. The scheme of such a collective edition had been anticipated by the American publishing firm of Messrs. Ticknor and Fields of Boston.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Thomas De Quincey, Vol. 1 of 2: His Life and Writings; With Unpublished Correspondence De Quincey had himself so fully told the story of his childhood and youth - with its dreams and strange sufferings-that something exceptionally interesting may be presumed to lie in the reading of letters and documents illustrating and confirming his "Confessions" and u Autobiographic Sketches" - letters and documents of which he could scarcely have had any thought when he was penning those memorials. The careful reader will see from the original matter in the earlier chapters of this book how correct and conscientious he was even in minor details, when he found it requisite to refer to them at all. Such a nature as De Quincey's needs to be seen in many lights before it will reveal itself with even the degree of fulness necessary to consistent interpretation.

Download or read book The Collected Writings of Thomas De Quincey Vol 5 Classic Reprint written by De Quincey and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2019-02 with total page 436 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Collected Writings of Thomas De Quincey, Vol. 5 The first seven of the biographic sketches, it will be observed, relate to persons and subjects contemporary with De Quincey himself, so that in treating them he could draw from his own observations and recollections, and not merely, as in most of the biographies in last volume, from books and tradition. These seven, papers, accordingly, have been arranged pretty much in the order of their subjects. Dr. Parr comes first, as, though quite within De Quincey's memory and known to De Quincey by actual contact, yet on the whole more an eighteenth-century Object than a figure of the nineteenth; Miss Hawkins's Anecdotes, though some of them are scraps from the J ohnsonian world of the eighteenth century prior to Parr's connexion with it, may follow Parr, as coming from the memory of a lady who was Parr's junior; after which, in the Marquess Wellesley, Coleridge, Lamb, Professor Wilson, and Sir William Hamilton, we are distinctly among De Quincey's coevals. The last four, indeed, were personal friends of his, of whom he had again and again made mention in his writings, and of three of whom, - Coleridge, Lamb, and Wilson, - we have already had sketches from him in his Autobiographic Reminiscences. This reappearance of Coleridge, Lamb, and Wilson in the present volume, to be sketched again, with Sir William Hamilton now in their company, is, indeed, a feature of the volume that cannot escape remark. It is worth some atten tion on De Quincey's own account. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Collected Writings of Thomas De Quincey, Vol. 6 Knowledge on any subject; nor is its main Object that of delight to the reader by dreams and pictures of the poetical kind; nor does it seek merely to rouse and stimulate the feelings for active exertion of some sort 3 but, without any of these aims, or while perhaps studying one or other of them to some extent, it has in View always the solution of some problem, the investigation of some question, so as to effect a modification or advance of the existing doctrine on the subject. How firmly De Quincey held by this notion of the distinctive characteristic Of the Essay, as compared with other kinds of writing, appears from the striking word in which, after referring to the three above-named essays as examples of his own efforts in this line, he claims the merit of fidelity to his principle, in intention at least, in all his other efforts of the same general character. These speci mens, he says, meaning Cicero, The Caesars, and The Essenes, are sufficient for the purpose of informing the reader that.
