Autobiographic Sketches

Description of book

"Autobiographic Sketches" by Thomas De Quincey began when the author started contributing reminiscent articles to periodicals, a practice which he continued until he had written and published about 30 essays. He then collected these articles, revised, enlarged, and polished them with his customary diligence, and gave them to the public as a volume of peaks into his life as a writer and intellectual.From a life of strife to his travels around Europe, this book takes you through De Quincey's life in a fluid and fascinating way.
