Alcohol aside, few substances can be said to have occupied such a
place in Western literature as opium. From the exuberant isolation
of Romanticism to the the paranoia of postmodernism, opiates have
influenced a host of writers across a range of time periods,
carrying them to the furthermost reaches of ecstasy and despair.
This collection is a bringing together of writings by some of the
best authors in the Western literary canon - from Samuel Taylor
Coleridge and Alfred Lord Tennyson to Oscar Wilde and Arthur Conan
Doyle - around a central theme which is fascinating for both
historical and artistic reasons.
