L’Anglais mangeur d’opium, Alfred de Musset’s first book, is supposed to be a translation of Confessions of an English Opium-Eater by Thomas De Quincey. Far from being faithful to the original work, Musset’s text is personal with elements of the era’s frenetic romanticism, a precursor to his future work.
