About this ebook
Published in 1817, and written when the author was attempting to wean himself from his addiction to opium, this meandering but highly incisive collection of essays philosophical and literary is among the most influential works of literary criticism ever produced. It is a remarkable testament to a brilliant and unorthodox genius.
