Title: This is the DeQuincey you want
Review: If you are choosing between several editions of the -Opium Eater-, this one is the one you want.True, it does not have Alethea Hayter's introduction, like the Penguin edition has; that being a point in that one's favour. But here you -also- get the entire -Suspiria de Profundis-, which is in many ways more beautiful and interesting than the Opium Eater itself. -Levana and Our Ladies of Sorrow- must surely be the single greatest prose poem ever written in English.The -Suspiria- was intended as a sequel to the -Opium Eater-, and those who enjoy the one will want them both.
