The five essays presented here "Rhetoric," "Style," "Language," "Conversation," and "Greek Literature" were published together for the first time in "The Collected Writings of Thomas De Quincey" in 1889 1890. Frederick Burwick brings the essays together again in this volume, introducing them by tracing the sources and development of a belletristic theory of rhetoric, which he says is one of the most original, and for a few critics, the most puzzling of the nineteenth century. Burwick makes the edition complete with a comprehensive index and a selected bibliography."

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.

The year is 1633. Tensions are running high in the small German city of Klosterheim. The Thirty Years' War rages on, as the Emperor contends with invading Swedish forces, and, closer to home, the marauding robber chieftain Holkerstein and his armies threaten to destroy the town and kill every man, woman, and child in Klosterheim.
But not all the townspeople's anxieties originate from without: within the city, too, there is danger at every turn, as the usurper prince tightens his grip on the town and targets those, like the brave Count St Aldenheim, the virtuous Maximilian, and the...
