"The Uncollected Writings of Thomas de Quincey—Vol. 1" by Thomas De Quincey is a collection of essays and articles written in the mid-19th century. This volume brings together various previously unpublished works by de Quincey, who is best known for his contributions to literature and philosophy. The writings explore themes such as literature analysis, philosophy, and personal reflections on various subjects and are punctuated with engaging and sophisticated prose. The opening of the collection includes a preface by James Hogg, who reflects on de Quincey's literary legacy and his personal experiences with the author. Hogg emphasizes the significance of these uncollected pieces, describing them as works that de Quincey valued and would have included in his main body of work had his health permitted. Hogg reveals insights into de Quincey's writing process, discussing the circumstances surrounding various essays and their intended contributions to understanding Greek literature, the German language, the moral effects of revolutions, and aspects of education. The prose sets a thoughtful tone for the subsequent exploration of de Quincey’s diverse literary contributions and invites readers into the intellectual world of one of the 19th century's most intriguing literary figures.
