Thomas de Quincey Confessions of an English Opium-Eater Levana and Our Ladies of Sorrow Savannah-la-Mar Introduction Thomas de Quincey was born in Manchester in 1785. His father was a well-off linen merchant who had interests in literature. De Quincey went to schools in Bath and Winkfield before settling at Manchester Grammar School at 15. However, eighteenth months after arriving there he ran away to wander homeless through Wales and London. These juvenile adventures would be documented in his most famous book, Confessions of an English Opium Eater (1822), notably his acquaintance with a prostitute called Ann. His guardians sent him to Worcester College at Oxford University where he spent most of his time alone. He would follow this solitary path for much of his life. During this period, de Quincey began taking opium, initially for toothache in 1804 (he became an addict in 1812). He shared this habit with Coleridge, who he met - along with Wordsworth - after leaving Oxford without a degree. He settled in Grasmere, in Dove Cottage where the Wordsworths had lived previously. In 1817, he married Margaret Simpson, a local farmer's daughter. Having finished off the last of his personal fortune through a combination of poor luck and recklessness, he took up a career in writing, initially editing the rather insignificant

He wrote favourable (whether commissioned, or not) articles concerning certain powerful people and their works; he was duly rewarded with a pension of £300 which allowed Addison to travel extensively throughout the continent for four years. With the victory at Blenheim , in 1704, Addison was commissioned to write The Campaign and this led to further political patronage; he was appointed as a Commissioner of Excise Taxes (the only significant taxes they had in those days). The job as a commissioner, presumably, took little of Addison's time and he was left to pursue his writing. While he had contributed to the Tatler (started by Steele in 1709), Addison started his own paper in 1711, the Spectator ("In the Spectator may be traced the foundations of all that is sound and healthy in modern English thought."

Back to Modern History Sourcebook Modern History Sourcebook: Thomas De Quincey Levana and Our Ladies of Sorrow, 1821 Introductory Note Thomas De Quincey (1785-1859) was born at Manchester, England, the son of a merchant of literary tastes. He was a precocious student, but, revolting from the tyranny of his schoolmaster, he ran away, and wandered in Wales and in London, at times almost destitute. On his reconciliation with his family he was sent to Oxford, and during this period began taking opium. The rest of his life was spent mainly in the Lake Country, near Wordsworth and Coleridge, later in London, and finally in Edinburgh and the neighborhood. He succeeded in checking but not abandoning his addiction to the drug, the craving for which was caused by a chronic disease which nothing else would alleviate. Most of De Quincey's writings were published in periodicals, and cover a great range of subjects. He was a man of immense reading, with an intellect of extraordinary subtlety, but with a curious lack of practical ability. Though generous to recklessness in money matters, and an affectionate friend and father, his predominating intellectuality led him even in his writings to analyze the characters of his friends with a detachment that sometimes led to estrangement. His most famous work, "The Confessions of an English Opium Eater" (1821) was based on his own experiences, and it has long held its place as a classic. Here, and still more in his literary and philosophical writings, he shows a remarkable clearness and precision of style, his love of exact thinking at times leading him to hair-splitting in his more abstruse discussions. In what he called the "department of impassioned prose," of which the following piece is one of the most magnificent examples, he has a field in which he is unsurpassed. To the power of thought and expression found throughout his work is here added a gorgeousness of imagination that lifts his finest passages into the region of the sublime.

Quincey, Thomas De Drugs Flowers that are so pathetic in their beauty, frail as the clouds, and in their coloring as gorgeous as the heavens, had through thousands of years been the heritage of children honored as the jewelry of God only by them when suddenly the voice of Christianity, counter-signing the voice of infancy, raised them to a grandeur transcending the Hebrew throne, although founded by God himself, and pronounced Solomon in all his glory not to be arrayed like one of these. Quincey, Thomas De Flowers If once a man indulges himself in murder, very soon he comes to think little of robbing; and from robbing he comes next to drinking and Sabbath-breaking, and from that to incivility and procrastination. Quincey, Thomas De Murder Solitude, though it may be silent as light, is like light, the mightiest of agencies; for solitude is essential to man.

Thomas de Quincey, 1785-1859. Although better known as a literary figure, Thomas de Quincey was also a staunch and very eloquent supporter of the Ricardian Classical School . He records his encounter with Ricardian theory in his famous Confessions of an Opium Eater Ricardo's book: and recurring to my own prophetic anticipation of the advent of some legislator for this science, I said, before I had finished the first chapter, "Thou art the man!" Wonder and curiosity were emotions that had long been dead in me. Yet I wondered once more: I wondered at myself that I could once again be stimulated to the effort of reading: and much more I wondered at the book. Had this profound work been really written in England during the nineteenth century? Was it possible? I supposed thinking had been extinct in England. Could it be that an Englishman, and he not in academic bowers, but oppressed by mercantile and senatorial cares, had accomplished what all the universities of Europe, and a century of thought, had failed even to advance by one hair's breadth? All other writers had been crushed and overlaid by the enormous weight of facts and documents; Mr. Ricardo had deduced, à priori , from the understanding itself, laws which first gave a ray of light into the unwieldy chaos of materials, and had constructed what had been but a collection of tentative discussions into a science of regular proportions, now first standing on an eternal basis.

Though the book was plagiarized by Baudelaire and canonized by the drug writers of modernity (Cocteau, Burroughs, etc), it doesn't amount to much more than a literary version of trash television, with De Quincey describing the decadent delights of addiction. There is another De Quincey, however, a less well-known writer of subtle, satirical, and often subversive intelligence. It was no doubt this writer who gained the admiration of Coleridge and Wordsworth (who became good friends of De Quincey), and later of Jorge Luis Borges, who frequently cites De Quincey in his tours de force of perverse logic. ("For many years," Borges wrote, "I thought that the almost infinite world of literature was in one man." With his love for paradox, Borges then cites several men, the last of which is De Quincey.) A child prodigy, a teen runaway who lived with a prostitute, a drug fiend for more than half his life, De Quincey eventually married, squandered his capital, sired eight children, and turned to journalism (of all things) to eke out an existence. He wrote few "major works," but his penetrating mind, black humor, and aristocratic style — he writes like a British butler telling you bad news — raised some of his copious journalism above its station.

SITE MAP Thomas De Quincey Although better known as a literary figure, Thomas de Quincey was also a staunch and very eloquent supporter of the Ricardian Classical School. He records his encounter with Ricardian theory in his famous Confessions of an Opium Eater: De Quincey's life was nothing if not frought with misfortunes, most of them of his own making. Born to a family of Manchester textile merchants, his father's early death portended problems to come. After a brilliant early school career, he ran away from home at 17, living on the streets of London as a mendicant. Reconciled to his family in 1803, he attended Worcester College, Oxford the next year. It was around this time that he grew acquainted with the English romanticist poets William Wordsworth and Samuel Taylor Coleridge and began experimenting with opium. In 1808, he dropped out of Oxford and moved to Grasmere, in the lake district where his literary friends lived. As his opium addiction grew deeper, he grew gradually estranged from the Wordsworths. In 1816, de Quincey married Margaret Simpson, the mother of his illegitimate child. In 1818-1819, he did a stint as an editor for the Westmoreland Magazine, before being dismissed and joining the foundling Blackwood's Edinburgh Magazine. In 1821, he published his Confessions of an English Opium-Eater - his greatest hit. For the remainder of his life, De Quincey continued writing a fast and furious number of articles on all sorts of topics - literary criticism, theology, philosophy, politics, etc. - for contemporary magaizines, like Blackwood's, London Magazine, Tait's and Hogg's.
