Among the earliest accounts of hallucinogenic experience in European literature, the four essays in this volume document Théophile Gautier and Charles Baudelaire’s involvement in the Hashish Club, which met under the auspices of investigating the psychological and mind-enhancing effects of various substances. As well as providing an absorbing account of 19th-century drug use, this volume captures the spirit of French Romanticism in its struggle to free the mind from the shackles of the humdrum and the conventional.
