Book excerpt: 'Life for De Quincey was either angels ascending on vaults of cloud or vagrants shivering on the city streets.'Thomas De Quincey - opium-eater, celebrity journalist, and professional doppelgänger - is embedded in our culture. Modelling his character on Coleridge and his sensibility on Wordsworth, De Quincey took over the poet's former cottage in Grasmere and turned it into an opium den. Here, increasingly detached from the world, he nurtured his growing hatred of his former idols and his obsession with murder as one of the fine arts.De Quincey may never have felt the equal of the giants of the Romantic Literature he so worshipped but the writing style he pioneered - scripted and sculptured emotional memoir - was to inspire generations of writers: Dickens, Dostoevsky, Virginia Woolf. James Joyce knew whole pages of his work off by heart and he was arguably the father of what we now call psychogeography.This spectacular biography, the produce of meticulous scholarship and beautifully supple prose, tells the riches-to-rags story of a figure of dazzling complexity and dazzling originality, whose rackety life was lived on the run, and both brings De Quincey and his martyred but wild soul triumphantly to life and firmly establishes Frances Wilson in the front rank of contemporary biographers.

Book excerpt: Written between the years 1798 and 1801, The Lucy Poems is a charming, pocket-sized collection of William Wordsworth’s Lucy poems, first published in one of his best-known works, Lyrical Ballads. The lyrical poetry in this volume explores nature motifs alongside melancholic themes of grief and unrequited love, surrounding a young English girl’s death. Lucy’s identity continues to be unknown and she is commonly thought to be figurative, a literary device for Wordsworth to reflect his own feelings of longing and loss on to. This collection includes all five of Wordsworth’s Lucy poems: - ‘Stange fits of passion I have known’ - ‘She dwelt among the untrodden ways’ - ‘I travelled among unknown men’ - ‘Three years she grew in sun and shower’ - ‘A slumber did my spirit seal’ Wordsworth was traveling Germany with his sister, Dorothy, at the time of writing this series. His growing irritation at his traveling companion and his desire to be reunited with his close friend, Samuel Taylor Coleridge, is evident in the works. Four of the five poems were first published in the collection Lyrical Ballads, composed by Wordsworth and Coleridge, that went on to form part of the early Romantic movement in England. This small edition of Wordsworth’s Lucy poems has been republished by Read & Co. Books Ragged Hand, complete with introductory excerpts from Thomas De Quincey and Thomas Carlyle. The Lucy Poems is an ideal collection for lovers of Romantic era poetry and Wordsworth’s beautiful nature imagery - the perfect companion for those who love reading poetry on the go.
