*by B***7 on Reviewed in the United States on April 20, 2015*

Learned, Swiftian Satire. By no means essential , any writings/ musings by the renowned Opium Eater, T. De Quincey is a worthy edition to any appreciator of the Romantic era's library. Especially recommended to lover's of the dead language: Latin.

    Not as witty as it should be
  

*by S***X on Reviewed in the United States on July 21, 2016*

This book was totally wasted on me. I obviously couldn’t appreciate its deeper meaning such as highlighting the impulsivity and ability of someone to end another life or the witty thought about a philosopher not being of any worth if no one has ever attempted to murder him. I simply couldn’t enjoy it like others have described it: satirical, humorous (black humour), hysterical etc.. I didn’t find anything funny in that essay.I’ll describe my gut reaction to it. I was baffled and left nauseated by this essay. It reports about a lecture heard at an infamous London society during the 19th century (around 1827), the Society of Connoisseurs in Murder. As the author points out it should rather be named a society for the promotion of murders.The lecturer, an intellectual, talks about murder as if it was a fine art and not an ignominious crime. For me this book is a depiction and reflection on London society at that time. As appalling as this sounds to me nowadays, there was a time when trivialising killing and talking playfully about taking someone else’s life was an entertainment tolerated and even enjoyed by highly educated members of a notorious society in London.
