De Quincey (Barnes & Noble Digital Library): English Men of Letters Series

Published in 1881, this volume of the English Men of Letters series was written by a man who had been both friend and editor to Thomas De Quincey.  As such, it is an indispensable resource for anyone interested in the life of one of Victorian England's most unusual writers, the author of Confessions of an English Opium-Eater (1821).
