Send us a textWelcome to Celebrate Poe - Episode 321 - DeQuincy, Baudelaire, and Poe - Part Three)I hope you listened to the previous episode that deals with Thomas De Quincy and his 1821 autobiographical work "Confessions of an English Opium-Eater.But before we go any further, I wan to try and clear something up. An opium-eater is not actually someone who eats opium, but rather a person who uses opium as a recreational drug or an opium addict. The term "opium-eater" was popularized by Thomas De Quincey in his work "Confessions of an English Opium-Eater”. In reality, De Quincey consumed opium in the form of laudanum, which is a tincture of opium dissolved in alcohol. This liquid preparation was widely used in the 19th century to treat various ailments and was easily available without a prescription. What could possibly go wrong?Thank you for experiencing Celebrate Poe.
Send us a textWelcome to Celebrate Poe - Episode 320 - DeQuincy, Baudelaire, and Poe - Part TwoWhen I started this podcast, my plans are to delve more into Charles Baudelaire, but I ran into something that I did not expect. Oh sure, there was his great collection known as Flowers of Evil and his classic and highly influential translation of Poe's works. And I began reading a book about the controversial topic of the use of opium by Baudelaire - but I soon found that much of Baudelaire's interests were centered around a writer known as Thomas De Quincey. Baudelaire's intended to translate Thomas De Quincey's Confession of an English Opium Eater. So And in a strange way, I found that reading about Thomas De Quincey helped me understand Baudelaire much better, and gain insights into the personal and creative challenges that Baudelaire faced as someone addicted to an opium. Thank you for experiencing Celebrate Poe.

La 91° puntata di Illuminismo psichedelico si è svolta dal vivo martedì 23 gennaio nel locale Arca di Milano, insieme a Federico di Vita c'era lo scrittore e intellettuale Matteo de Giuli. La conversazione è partita da "Scritti sulla/sotto droga" di Sadie Plant, recentemente pubblicato in Italia da Nero. "Scritti sulla/sotto droga" è un'opera che esplora la profonda interconnessione tra il consumo di sostanze psicoattive e il processo creativo letterario. Pubblicato per la prima volta nel 1999, il libro si addentra nelle storie personali di scrittori famosi che hanno fatto uso di droghe, analizzando come queste sostanze abbiano influenzato la loro vita e il loro lavoro. Plant non si limita a descrivere aneddoti o a glorificare l'uso di droghe; piuttosto, esamina con acume critico e teorico come differenti sostanze - dalla caffeina all'oppio, dagli psichedelici agli stimolanti - abbiano ispirato o alterato la percezione e la produzione letteraria attraverso i secoli. Plant utilizza una vasta gamma di esempi letterari, citando opere e autori che vanno da Samuel Taylor Coleridge a Thomas De Quincey, da Charles Baudelaire a William Burroughs, evidenziando come le droghe abbiano offerto sia fonti di ispirazione che meccanismi di fuga.
Interessiert man sich für historische Kriminalromane, die das viktorianische London lebendig machen, sind David Morrells drei Romane um Thomas De Quincey ganz oben auf der Liste anzusiedeln. Morrell erreicht das hauptsächlich damit, dass er auch den Stil, in dem im 19ten Jahrhundert Romane geschrieben wurden, anwendet. Für heutige Autoren ist das gar nicht so leicht. Morrell hat sich viele Jahre lang in den Duktus der damaligen Zeit versetzt und darüber hinaus intensiv Recherche betrieben, um die viktorianische Zeit lebendig zu machen und die Fakten mit der Erzählung zu verschmelzen. Vielleicht ist der notwendige Aufwand auch der Grund, warum es so wenige erstklassige Romane in dieser Gattung gibt, denn man merkt als interessierter Leser sofort, wo die Fehlerquellen liegen.

William Leonard Pickard is a former research associate in neurobiology at Harvard Medical School, Harvard fellow in drug policy at the Harvard Kennedy School of Government, and Deputy Director of the Drug Policy Analysis Program at UCLA. His 1996 prediction of the fentanyl epidemic was published by RAND in The Future of Fentanyl and Other Synthetic Opioids. In 2015 Pickard published The Rose of Paracelsus: On Secrets & Sacraments, a 656-page autobiography that blends fiction and nonfiction. The book centers around six chemists in an international drug organization. One of the Six tells Pickard, the book's narrator, that the making of psychedelics is not just following a recipe or formula but requires "the requisite spirit ... the purest intent, a flawless diamond morality". He says it's the same spirit described in Thomas De Quincey and Jorge Luis Borges's short stories about Paracelsus, the 16th-century physician and alchemist of Basel who resurrected a rose from its ashes: "there could be no creation for lack of faith and the trust of gold". Writing while incarcerated, Pickard wrote the entire book with pencil and paper. In an interview with Seth Ferranti, Pickard recounted: "The Rose was handwritten in two years, without notes and based on recollection, but seemed too trivial to honor the reader. I destroyed the work in minutes, then began again. It took another three years to compose, then a year to edit the 656 pages." Readings of The Rose of Paracelsus were presented at the University of Greenwich in London in June 2017. Readers included British artist and Resonance FM radio host Simon Tyszko, SEED Restaurant founder Greg Sams and post-doctoral fellow in literature Neşe Devenot. In November 2016, British actor Dudley Sutton did readings of The Rose of Paracelsus at Reading Gaol, in Oscar Wilde's former cell. The Rose also has been reviewed by author and Psychedelic Museum founder Julian Vayne. In November 2017, readings from The Rose were presented at the Altered Conference Berlin, and in December 2017 The Rose was discussed on the major podcast The Joe Rogan Experience with Duncan Trussell.

BIBLIOTECA SUBMERSA é a nova série de episódios do Podcast da Raphus Press, uma ironia bastante séria com o conceito de canônico e marginal, de popular e elitista, de aceito e não aceito, a partir das obras de autores que, aparentemente, tinham alguma influência (ou relevância) de certas obras ou autores no passado e que, hoje, parecem ausentes das livrarias, cadernos culturais, canais de vídeo na Internet. Nossa inspiração é Jorge Luis Borges e uma conhecida citação de Virginia Woolf: “Livros usados são selvagens, destituídos; surgem em grandes bandos de penas variadas e possuem certo encanto que falta aos volumes domesticados de uma biblioteca.” Episódio de hoje: A confissão alucinante (Thomas de Quincey e suas memórias do ópio) Obras citadas: “Confissões de um comedor de ópio”, Thomas de Quincey (L&PM, 1982).

Wir schreiben das Jahr 1855. Nachrichten über die Unfähigkeit der britischen Kommandeure im Krimkrieg haben den Sturz der Regierung verursacht. Thomas De Quincey und seine Tochter Emily sind im Londoner Haus von Lord Palmerston nicht mehr willkommen. Doch gerade als Palmerston sich anschickt, die beiden in eine Kutsche zu stecken und weit, weit weg zu schicken, sind De Quinceys Fähigkeiten plötzlich sehr gefragt, als eines Tages der erste von vielen grausamen und ausgeklügelten Morden geschieht. Musik von Kevin MacLeod.

Thomas De Quincey war einer der intelligentesten Autoren, die England je hervorgebracht hat. Im gewöhnlichen Lesebetrieb ist er heutzutage allerdings nicht mehr so bekannt wie etwa Baudelaire oder andere dekadente Autoren. David Morrell hat nun einen genialen Schachzug gemacht und De Quincey in eine ganze Reihe historischer Persönlichkeiten gestellt, die als Ermittler fungieren. David Morrell begnügt sich nicht einfach mit dem Schriftsteller allein; selbst die von ihm dargestellten Morde haben einen grausamen Hintergrund, der einige Jahrzehnte vor Jack the Ripper für Panik in den nebelverhangenen Gassen Londons sorgte.

Nada como empezar el año 2021 hablando de cómo tener mentalidad de escritor con una asesina. Sí, como lo oyes. Porque en esta ocasión me acompaña una elegante dama y consumada asesina, pero en el papel, ya que es escritora de novela policíaca. Como diría mi amigo Thomas De Quincey en su famoso libro Del Asesinato considerado como una de las bellas artes: «El mundo en general -señores- está sediento de sangre; todo lo que se desea en un crimen es que la efusión de sangre sea copiosa (...). Pero el conocedor ilustrado tiene más refinado gusto, el resultado de nuestro arte, como el de todas las demás artes liberales, es humanizar el corazón (...)». Esta notable mujer también es Ana bolox, Filóloga inglesa, da clases de inglés y español, y además de meterse en la piel de los asesinos, escribe libros específicos para escritores, todos ellos están en formato de audiolibro, por supuesto.

Edmund Gosse. Thomas De Quincey. James Baldwin. For Vivian Gornick, what connects these writer's disparate oeuvres is that although each pursued other genres—poetry, journalism, novels, or plays—their “significant work turns out to reside in a memoir” (or personal essays, in Baldwin's case). In an essay in the December issue of Harper's Magazine, Gornick nominates to this list Storm Jameson, a prolific English novelist whose autobiography, Journey from the North, is a prime example of a writer finding her voice—all the more striking in Jameson's case because she made the discovery near the end of a long and, in Gornick's estimation, otherwise middling career. In the immediacy of self-disclosure, something clicked for Jameson—but why? Gornick, who struggled at novel writing herself before hitting her stride in memoirs such as Fierce Attachments and The Odd Woman and the City, has “something of a vested interest in this mysterious matter of a writer's natural métier.… I was well into my thirties,” she writes, “before I understood that I was born for the memoir.” In this episode of the podcast, Gornick begins with a reading from the arresting first pages of Journey from the North. In the conversation that follows, she and Harper's web editor Violet Lucca discuss Jameson's life and legacy; the perennial excuse of “writing down” to make ends meet; the questionable value of the “autofiction” label; and Gornick's reading (and rereading) habits during the pandemic.

De Quincey imagined that three women were sent to him so that he might know the depths of his soul. Real women could not have wielded greater influence. It is fortunate that everyone does not meet these weird women. (Volume 27, Harvard Classics)Thomas De Quincey died Dec. 8, 1859.
Introductory note on Thomas De Quincey (Volume 27, Harvard Classics)
Samuel Taylor Coleridge and Thomas De Quincey are connected by two things: William Wordsworth and opium. Sam met Wordsworth first and together they published The Lyrical Ballads in 1798, which kicked off the Romantic movement and attracted legions of fans. Among them was Thomas De Quincey. He famously tracked down his two idols and insinuated himself into their Lake District clique. Wordsworth was impressed by the much younger Tom, but Sam Coleridge was wary. Perhaps Sam recognised a little too much of himself in Tom. Later, Sam would go on to publish Kubla Khan and Tom would publish Confessions of an English Opium-Eater. Both works are considered the earliest instances of drug literature. But while Tom wrote candidly about his experiences with addiction, Sam only ever alluded to drug use, using metaphors instead of specific references. He preferred to keep the matter of his laudanum dependence private, so he didn't exactly appreciate it when Tom, on the very first page of Confessions, publicly outed him as one of the biggest dope fiends of all.Please visit our website, hollywordpodcast.com to find show notes, including a list of sources used, and more information.
Jorge Luis Borges Acevedo. (Buenos Aires, 24 de agosto de 1899 - Ginebra, Suiza, 14 de junio de 1986). Poeta, ensayista y escritor argentino. Estudia en Ginebra e Inglaterra. Vive en España desde 1919 hasta su regreso a Argentina en 1921. Colabora en revistas literarias, francesas y españolas, donde publica ensayos y manifiestos. De regreso a Argentina, participa con Macedonio Fernández en la fundación de las revistas Prismay Prosa y firma el primer manifiesto ultraísta. En 1923 publica su primer libro de poemas, Fervor de Buenos Aires, y en 1935 Historia universal de la infamia, compuesto por una serie de relatos breves (formato que utilizará en publicaciones posteriores). Durante los años treinta su fama crece en Argentina y publica diversas obras en colaboración con Bioy Casares, de entre las que cabe subrayar Antología de la literatura fantástica. Durante estos años su actividad literaria se amplía con la crítica literaria y la traducción de autores como Virginia Woolf, Henri Michaux o William Faulkner. Es bibliotecario en Buenos Aires de 1937 a 1945, conferenciante y profesor de literatura inglesa en la Universidad de Buenos Aires, presidente de la Sociedad Argentina de Escritores, miembro de la Academia Argentina de las Letras y director de la Biblioteca Nacional de Argentina desde 1955 hasta 1974. En 1961 comparte con Samuel Beckett el Premio Formentor, otorgado por el Congreso Internacional de Editores. Desde 1964 publica indistintamente en verso y en prosa. Borges utiliza un singular estilo literario, basado en la interpretación de conceptos como los de tiempo, espacio, destino o realidad. La simbología que utiliza remite a los autores que más le influencian -William Shakespeare, Thomas De Quincey, Rudyard Kipling o Joseph Conrad-, además de la Biblia, la Cábala judía, las primigenias literaturas europeas, la literatura clásica y la filosofía.

If you look below the surface of an ancient city, you can travel through time and find its deeper layers. In this episode, David Morrell talks about how he researched Victorian London for his historical mysteries about Thomas De Quincey, and how he brought to light the “chasms and sunless abysses” of the first British […] The post History As A Fine Art.

Scrisse H. A. Page, primo biografo di De Quncey: «I contributi di De Quincey a riviste e periodici spaziano su una vastissima area di argomenti. Il più compendioso e non certo il più scorretto titolo generale che essi potrebbero avere sarebbe De omnibus rebus et quibusdam aliis. Questi suoi scritti possono essere divisi in storici, […]
Carlo Linati (curatore e traduttore) sceglie, tra la sterminata produzione di De Quincey, alcuni scritti particolarmente interessanti che spaziano appunto dalla riflessione letteraria, a quella autobiografica, fino ad annotazioni di tipo storico.
“Del asesinato considerado como una de las Bellas Artes” de Thomas De Quincey conversaremos y debatiremos en La República de las Letras de hoy.
Í Víðsjá í dag er hugað að sýningunni Samkomu sem átti upphaflega að vera í Veröld - húsi Vigdísar, en færist inn á netið vegna faraldursins. Þær Hrafnhildur Gissurardóttir og Sólveig Pálsdóttir segja frá Samkomu í Víðsjá dagsins. Thomas De Quincey, (1785 -1859), var þekktastur fyrir bók sína Játningar enskrar ópíumætu sem út kom árið 1821 og olli miklu uppnámi. Hermann Stefánsson rýnir í enska klassík í Víðsjá í dag.

In December 1811, two households in the borough of Wapping, one of the docks districts of east London were annihilated in a pair of brutal and apparently motiveless crimes. After the crimes, the murderer was disposed of in a novel and unusual fashion. Twenty years later, they were described in Thomas De Quincey's satirical essay “On Murder Considered as One of the Fine Arts” as “the sublimest and most entire in their excellence that ever were committed.” Part of the Straight Up Strange Network: https://www.straightupstrange.com/ My Patreon: http://www.patreon.com/forgdark/ Opening music from https://filmmusic.io.

Library Lunchtime Lecture by Dr Daniel Roberts, Queen's University Belfast. The third lecture in our series on 'Discovering Thomas Moore.' This lecture series accompanied our exhibition 'Discovering Thomas Moore: Ireland in nineteenth-century Europe'. Curated by musicologist Dr Sarah McCleave, School of Arts, English & Languages, QUB, the exhibition and lecture series exposes the breadth of Moore's research and writing about Ireland and explores Moore's role as an Irish writer with an international reputation in positioning Ireland within Europe through cultural exchange. It also addresses contemporary European fascination with the orient and Moore's influential role in depicting eastern culture, particularly via his hugely successful work, Lalla Rookh. Location: Academy House Date: Wednesday 6 November, 2019 Speaker: Daniel Sanjiv Roberts teaches Eighteenth-Century and Romantic-Period Literature at Queen's University Belfast. He has edited Thomas De Quincey and Robert Southey and written extensively on Romanticism and the East.

In this first audio essay, Thomas De Quincey, of a new series of monologues, Saints and Rascals, by Clark Carr, we hear De Quincey talk about his book, "Confessions of an Opium Eater," and of the terrible history of opium, the British/Chinese Opium Wars, and the evolution of the modern international drug crisis. What a tale! Told by someone who lived it...
North Americans are the world’s most compulsive and prolific users of legal opioids. In this lyrical update of Thomas De Quincey’s Confessions of an English Opium-Eater, writer Carlyn Zwarenstein recounts her search for relief and release – with its euphoric ups, hallucinatory lows and desperate pharmacy visits. Along the way she traces the long tradition of opium’s influence on culture and imagination, from De Quincey to Frida Kahlo. Part memoir, part critique of modern medicine, Zwarenstein’s short but powerful book offers a “measured” and “urgent” (The Globe & Mail) entry-point to a critical contemporary discussion. From the reviews: “…a sensuous and compelling meditation on using opioids to treat chronic pain. It’s also a delicate ode to the drug’s history. Zwarenstein, whose writing is thoughtful, honest, and elegant, opens her life to us as she guides us expertly through history, citing resources from literary biographies to online drug forums. With a little wink, she even includes a “pain playlist” with songs by Neil Young, Elliott Smith, and The Velvet Underground.
The word Romanticism makes us think of mountain tops and stormy seas, but the younger generation of English Romantics (above all, John Keats) were Londoners through and through. They were even mocked as 'the Cockney School of Poetry'. Jonathan Bate will track Keats to Hampstead and tell of the extraordinary circle of writers - opium-eater Thomas De Quincey, essayist Charles Lamb, master-critic William Hazlitt - who wrote for The London Magazine, until its gifted editor was killed in a duel with a rival critic.A lecture by Sir Jonathan Bate FBA, Gresham Professor of Rhetoric 14 May 2019The transcript and downloadable versions of the lecture are available from the Gresham College website: https://www.gresham.ac.uk/lectures-and-events/cockney-romantics-john-keatsGresham College has been giving free public lectures since 1597.

JF and Phil head for Interzone in an attempt to solve the enigma of Naked Lunch, David Cronenberg's 1991 screen adaptation of William S. Burroughs' infamous 1959 novel. A treatise on addiction, a diagnosis of modern ills, a lucid portrait of the artist as cosmic transgressor, and like the book, "a frozen moment when everyone sees what is on the end of every fork," Naked Lunch is here framed in the light Cronenberg's recent speech making the case for the crime of art.

In 1932 a quartet of Bronx gangsters set out to murder a friend of theirs in order to collect his life insurance. But Michael Malloy proved to be almost comically difficult to kill. In this week's episode of the Futility Closet podcast we'll review what one observer called "the most clumsily executed insurance scam in New York City history." We'll also burrow into hoarding and puzzle over the value of silence. Intro: In May 1856 Abraham Lincoln gave a fiery speech of which no record exists. Calvin S. Brown argued that Thomas De Quincey modeled the third part of his 1849 essay "The English Mail-Coach" deliberately on a musical fugue.

On Start the Week Andrew Marr talks to the psychologist Charles Fernyhough about the inner speech in our heads. But what if it's a lone voice? The writer Olivia Laing explores what it's like to be lonely in a bustling city, while the playwright Alistair McDowall explores what happens when you're abandoned on a distant planet with no sense of time. The biographer Frances Wilson writes a tale of hero-worship, betrayal and revenge through the life of Thomas De Quincey, a man who modelled his opium-habit on Coleridge and his voice and writing on Wordsworth. Producer: Katy Hickman.

A storming collection of songs, poetry and prose for the winter 2014/15 Drive The Cold Winter Away by Green Diesel from the album "Wayfarers All" Winter Singing by The Imagined Village from the album "Bending The Dark" The Running Fox by The Young 'Uns from the album "Never Forget" Sparrow by Peter Lacey from the album "Last Leaf" (featuring a quotation as recorded by The Venerable Bede) Song For A Winter's Night by Reid Jamieson from the album "Songs For A Winter's Night" I heard a bird sing In the dark of December A magical thing And sweet to remember. 'We are nearer to Spring Than we were in September,' I heard a bird sing In the dark of December. ~ Oliver Herford, I Heard a Bird Sing Winter King by Ninebarrow from the album "When The Blackthorn Burns" When Springtime Comes Around by Mark Ellis from the album "When Springtime Comes Around" A Season In Your Arms by Greg Russell and Ciaran Algar from the album "The Call" December Song by KC Barber from the album "Cold Wind Blowing" "The shed of leaves became a cascade of red and gold and after a time the trees stood skeletal against a sky of weathered tin. The land lay bled of its colors. The nights lengthened, went darker, brightened in their clustered stars. The chilled air smelled of woodsmoke, of distances and passing time. Frost glimmered on the morning fields. Crows called across the pewter afternoons." ~ James Carlos Blake, Wildwood Boys Through The Winter by George Boomsma from the EP "Through The Winter" "He who marvels at the beauty of the world in summer will find equal cause for wonder and admiration in winter…. In winter the stars seem to have rekindled their fires, the moon achieves a fuller triumph, and the heavens wear a look of a more exalted simplicity." ~ John Burroughs, The Snow-Walkers Red Deer White Snow by Stooshie from the album "Stydd" "I put up a petition annually, for as much snow, hail, frost, or storm, of one kind or other, as the skies can possibly afford us. Surely every body is aware of the divine pleasures which attend a winter fire-side: candles at four o’clock, warm hearth-rugs, tea, a fair tea-maker, shutters closed, curtains flowing in ample draperies on the floor, whilst the wind and rain are raging audibly without…" ~ Thomas De Quincey, Confessions of an English Opium-Eater Weather by Rainbow Chasers from the album "Chimes At Midnight" Icicles by Miranda Sykes from the album "Bliss" The days are short, The sun a spark Hung thin between The dark and dark. Fat snowy footsteps Track the floor, And parkas pile up Near the door. The river is A frozen place Held still beneath The trees’ black lace. The sky is low. The wind is gray. The radiator Purrs all day. ~ John Updyke, January Gloomy Winter by Shine from the album "Sugarcane" "The English winter—ending in July, To recommence in August…" ~ Lord Byron "There are two seasons in Scotland: June and Winter." ~ Billy Connolly Highland Snow by Andi Butler from the album "Six Songs" “Winter is not a season; it's an occupation.” ~ Sinclair Lewis Winter Fever by Kyle Carey from the album "North Star" Think of winter and think of snows but in England that's not how it goes. Here blizzards are as rare as a placid child, English winters are wet and mild and wild with gales and gnawing damp that dull the days and put a cramp on life out of doors. So we don't dash through crystal drifts but trudge and splash as the rain and drizzle floods and flows and dewdrops drip from off our nose. Then, soaked and raw, we go home quick … and turn the heating up a click. ~ Phil Widdows, English Winter January Sky by Charlie Mosbrook from the album "Something To Believe" "Winter is nature’s way of saying, 'Up yours!'." ~ Robert Byrne Harbour View Hotel by Duncan McCrone from the album "Colourblind" "February is merely as long as is needed to pass the time until March." ~ Dr. J.R. Stockton Storm by Nigel Brown from the album "Mother Ivey" For full details and links to artists' websites, see the ShowNotes at www.folkcast.co.uk

Melvyn Bragg discusses the Opium Wars, a series of conflicts in the 19th Century which had a profound effect on British Chinese relations for generations. Thomas De Quincey describes the pleasures of opium like this: “Thou hast the keys of Paradise, O just, subtle and mighty opium”. The Chinese had banned opium in its various forms several times, citing concern for public morals, but private British traders continued to smuggle large quantities of opium into China from India. In this way, the opium trade became a way of balancing a trade deficit brought about by Britain's own addiction...to Indian tea.The Chinese protested against the flouting of the ban, even writing to Queen Victoria. But the British continued to trade, leading to a crackdown by Lin Tse-Hsu, a man appointed to be China's Opium Drugs Czar. He confiscated opium from the British traders and destroyed it. The British military response was severe, leading to the Nanking Treaty which opened up several of China's ports to foreign trade and gave Britain Hong Kong. The peace didn't last long and a Second Opium War followed. The Chinese fared little better in this conflict, which ended with another humiliating treaty.So what were the main causes of the Opium Wars? What were the consequences for the Qing dynasty? And how did the punitive treaties affect future relations with Britain?With Yangwen Zheng, Lecturer in Modern Chinese History at the University of Manchester; Lars Laamann, Research Fellow in Chinese History at the School of Oriental and African Studies (SOAS), University of London; Xun Zhou, Research Fellow in History at SOAS, University of London
