Confessions of an English Opium-Eater is Thomas De Quincey's autobiographical account, first published in 1821, of his experiences with opium. It moves between memory, London scenes and dreamlike visions, exploring pleasure, dependence and the mind's darker reaches. Its reflective, musical prose makes it a notable work of Romantic-era confession.
