Autobiographic Sketches by Thomas De Quincey
QR code
"Autobiographic Sketches" by Thomas De Quincey is a collection published in 1853. This fragmentary autobiography emerged from thirty reminiscent essays De Quincey contributed to periodicals, later revised and gathered into one volume. Rather than a conventional life story, these sketches reveal De Quincey's inner dream world through compelling episodes—a sister's death, Sunday church visits, time at Oxford. Written in his distinctive "impassioned prose," the work captures the strange, solitary spirit of a
writer who lived more vividly in memory and imagination than in outward events. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
