Book Description
Excerpt from Selections From De Quincey: Edited With an Introduction This volume contains - besides the Confessions, several of the Snspz'rz'a, and other popular pieces the most impor tant parts of De Quincey's Antooz'ogmp/zz'o Sketoizes and some of his most interesting Literary Romz'nz'soenoos. It is hoped that the selections will serve to illustrate pretty fully De Quincey's varied literary activity, while at the same time they throw light upon his life and character. A portion of the Introduction is devoted to the study of his personality. The text adopted is, except in the case of the Confessions, the latest to which De Quincey gave his approval. For the use of the original Confessions in place of the greatly enlarged version of 1856, there appears to be a better excuse than that of brevity. As will be pointed out in the Introduction, it is at least a question whether the earlier form had not the preference of the author himself.
