Recollections of the Lakes and the Lake Poets by Thomas De Quincey
This book is only part of De Quincey's prolific writings, which taken together form his autobiography. The frankness with which he wrote about Wordsworth, Southey, Coleridge and their lives at Grasmere provoked a storm on publication.
De Quincey, Thomas: -
Thomas De Quincey (1785-1859) was born in Manchester, England, the son of a textile merchant. After his father's early death, he was sent away to school, but he ran away to wander in North Wales and London. He later attended Oxford where he befriended Coleridge and William and Dorothy Wordsworth. The success of his Confessions of an English Opium-Eater launched him in a career as an essayist and critic. De Quincey's work was widely admired, but he spent much of his life in poverty and debt until the last decade of his life.
