A great pleasure to meet you too, Victor. Thanks for your comment. That part of the family tree has always defeated me too, so I’m hoping someone out there may have the answer.

Many thanks, Tracee. And I hope you are well and that your battle with addiction has been successful. Though I know it’s never quite over, it remains a part of us and perhaps can give a compassion that might not otherwise be there. Sorry it’s take a long time to reply to your aomment: if you’ve been back to the blog lately you’ll know why! Hope all goes well with you.

Great post. I learned some very valuable information from it. I have been struggling with an addiction myself for most of my life, so what you wrote really meant a lot to me. Visit my blog if you'd like to read more. Thanks again for this blog - it is really educational.

Grevel, it was a great pleasure to meet you and Robert in such atmospheric surroundings and spending a most enjoyable afternoon listening to both of you discussing Thomas de Quincey, I am sure he was in the room with us. May I use this opportunity to ask your readers to help me in tracing Thomas de Quinceys G.Parents, I have spent 40 years compiling the de Quincey family tree and have been unable to find the missing link. My web site gives a brief outline of the family however I do have a more complete tree on Pdf.file available on request.

Grevel, what an unimanginably exhilarating afternoon we had in Dove Cottage,and how wonderfully gloomy and atmospheric, thanks to the cloud cover, and how privileged it felt to be in the company of the world’s two foremost De Quincey scholars by the fireside in the rooms inhabited by De Quincey himself…
