James Thomson's epic poem The City Of Dreadful Night first appeared
in 1874 and acheived in its day some fame and was read by many, but
in the decades that followed the poem and the poet sank into
obscurity, becoming known only to a few. Thomson's poem is a deeply
questioning and extremely dark vision of the City that we inhabit,
but more than that it challenges the illusions that inhabit us.
Thomson - athiest, alcoholic, anarchist and insomniac - speaks to
us all frm the place where we live. This new edition is illustrated
with eight drawings by Clifford Harper, and will hopefully help
give the poem a new audience, and a new fame. Includes a critical
biography of Thomson and his work by Dr Philip Tew. Agraphia is
Harper's own publishing imprint, and as you'd expect, the books are
exquisitely designed, illustrated and printed.
