Genius And Disaster: Studies In Drugs And Genius by Jeannette Marks is a non-fiction book that explores the relationship between drugs and creativity. The author examines the lives and works of several notable artists, writers, and musicians who were known for their drug use, including Samuel Taylor Coleridge, Edgar Allan Poe, Charles Baudelaire, Vincent van Gogh, and Jimi Hendrix. The book looks at how drugs influenced the creative process of these individuals and how their drug use affected their personal lives and ultimately led to their downfall. Marks also discusses the cultural and societal attitudes towards drugs and creativity throughout history. The book provides a thought-provoking analysis of the complex relationship between drugs and genius, and offers insights into the dangers and benefits of drug use in the pursuit of artistic expression.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
