Recollections of the Lake Poets
''Recollections of the Lake Poets'' is a collection of biographical essays written by the English author Thomas De Quincey. In these essays, originally published in ''Tait's Edinburgh Magazine'' between 1834 and 1840, De Quincey provided some of the earliest, best informed, and most candid accounts of the Lake Poets, William Wordsworth, Samuel Taylor Coleridge, and Robert Southey, and others in their circle. Together, the essays "form one of the most entertaining of Lakeland books."〔Grevel Lindop, ''The Opium-Eater: A Life of Thomas De Quincey'', London, J. M. Dent & Sons, 1981; p. 296.〕
==Candor==
De Quincey wrote from direct personal familiarity, having known all three men during the first two decades of the nineteenth century. When he wrote about them twenty years later, De Quincey ignored the constraints and repressions typical of biography in his era, to produce realistic and nuanced portraits. He "certainly made many of his subjects live in the mind of the reader as few others of their biographers have been able to do. The racy, gossipy tone that often prevails makes these works eminently readable; indeed, ''Tait's Magazine'' never sold better than when De Quincey's literary reminiscences were appearing in it."〔Judson S. Lyon, ''Thomas De Quincey'', New York, Twayne, 1969; pp. 107-8.〕
De Quincey was the first person to address the problem of plagiarism in Coleridge's works, a problem that would be ignored or neglected for a century and a half, until modern scholars addressed it in detail.〔Norman Fruman, ''Coleridge: The Damaged Archangel'', New York, George Braziller, 1971.〕
