Die Bekenntnisse eines englischen Opiumessers sind de Quinceys Hauptwerk und zeigen, was aus seinem schpferischen Leben im Opiumrausche entstand: Persnliche Sehnschte und Wnsche - beschrieben in einer literarischen Schnheit, die den Vergleich zu den Werken seines Zeitgenossen Charles Baudelaires nicht zu scheuen braucht. Unstrittig verdient das gesamte Schaffen Thomas de Quinceys das Prdikat Weltliteratur. Er war zeitlebens ein Sonderling und ein Mensch von unendlicher Herzensgte, der seinen Stolz darin begrndete, da ihm nichts Irdisches fremd war.
