Does the habit of taking drugs make authors write better, or worse, or differently? This work examines the work of five writers - Crabbe, Coleridge, De Quincey, Wilkie Collins and Francis Thompson - who were opium addicts for many years, and of other writers who are known to have taken opium at times.
