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.
