520 _a"The Collected Writing of Thomas De Quincey, Vol. II" by Thomas De Quincey is a collection of autobiographical writings and literary reminiscences, likely written in the mid-19th century. This volume continues De Quincey's personal narrative, offering insights into his experiences at Oxford and his reflections on notable literary figures of his time, particularly those associated with the Lake District. It provides a unique perspective on the intersection of personal histories and literary contexts in the early 19th century. The opening of the volume begins with De Quincey's arrival in Oxford during the winter of 1803, as he reflects on the significance of this chapter in his life, filled with aspirations for academic achievement. He shares his observations of university life and the cultural atmosphere, contrasting it with his earlier experiences. De Quincey discusses his initial struggles with poverty and the social dynamics of being a student among the wealthier classes. He provides an in-depth look at the structure and discipline of Oxford, highlighting both the challenges and the intellectual pursuits that shaped his formative years at the university.
