DE QUINCEY THOMAS

De L'Assassinat Considéré Comme Un Des Beaux-Arts

Toronto, Ont: Nouvel Office D'Edition, 1963. Hardcover. Bright red cloth covers, gilt titles pannelled in black to the cover. Tightly bound, unmarked pages with age tanning. Near Fine condition." On Murder Considered as One of the Fine Arts centre on the notorious career of the murderer John Williams, who in 1811 brutally killed seven people in London's East End. De Quincey's response to Williams's attacks turns morality on its head, celebrating and coolly dissecting the art of murder and its perfections. Ranging from gruesomely vivid reportage and brilliantly funny satiric high jinks to penetrating literary and aesthetic criticism, the essays had a remarkable impact on crime, terror, and detective fiction, as well as on the rise of nineteenth-century decadence." ; 16mo 6" - 7" tall; 180 pages.

DE QUINCEY (Thomas):

Klosterheim: or, The Masque.

Edinburgh and London William Blackwood, 1832. FIRST EDITION. 8vo, 176 x 105 mms., pp. 305 [306 blank, 307 - 308 adverts], including half-title, edges uncut, early 20th century binding of half chocolate morocco, linen boards, title and author in gilt on spine; rear hinge a little opened at adverts leaf, but a very good copy, with the autograph "Archibald Megget, M D/ 1835" on the title-page. This was De Quincey's only original novel, and a Gothic novel at that. Coleridge asserted that "in purity of style and idiom it reaches an excellence to which Sir Walter Scott seems never to have aspired." Henry Crabb Robinson in 1836 took a rather more jaundiced view: "the book made no noise – perhaps because of its lumbering style and forming one small volume only..." ; and in 1845 George Gilfillan asserted that it was "a complete failure." His daughter Margaret said of the work, "He simply lived in the romances of his youth. He cared nothing for delineations of character, and I do not think he cared much for pictures of modern life, or even for fun or humour – at all events of the later type, in novels. Dark-lanterns, and Spanish cloaks, and three knights riding through a wood, and a mysterious villain with dagger or stiletto were the sine-quâ-nons in the novels of his youth; and he seemed to favour this kind of work to the end. 'Klosterheim,' indeed, is conceived much in this vein." Robert J. Morrison, Klosterheim; or, The Masque 1832. Online.

The Ratcliffe Murders. Being the Postscript to Essay "on Murder Considered As One of the Fine Arts

Girard, Kansas, Haldeman-Julius Publications, 1930. First half of the 20th-century edition, n. d.

First written by Thomas De Quincey in 1827, "On Murder Considered as one of the Fine Arts" was a fictional, sarcastic account of a ramble at a gentlemen's club on the aesthetic appreciation of murder. It was largely based on a series of murders, allegedly committed by one John Williams in 1811 in London. An instant success, the essay prompted the appearance of several sequels, including the current "Postscript," written in 1854. Very good .
