He is most famous for "e;Confessions of an English Opium-Eater"e; (1821), which gained him fame almost overnight and inspired the tradition of addiction writing in the West. This volume will appeal to fans and collectors of De Quincey's work, and would make for a worthy addition to any bookshelf. The essays contained herein include: "e;On the Knocking at the Gate in Macbeth"e;, "e;Murder, Considered as one of the Fine Arts"e;, "e;Second Paper on Murder"e;, "e;Joan of Arc"e;, "e;The English Mail-Coach"e;, "e;The Vision of Sudden Death"e;, and "e;Dinner, Real and Reputed"e;.
