LTD ED. HARDBACK

Cobweb of Trips by Robert Dickins is a literary history of psychedelics that catches a sublime aesthetic weaving its way through mid-twentieth century Britain and beyond.

Spinning a psychospiritual thread from literature and the history of medicine, this story brings to light how the question of psychedelics, and the trips people had, were animated by the era's cultural transformations. From spiritual reimaginings and scientific novelty to political agitation and the counterculture of the 1960s, this Cobweb of Trips is a poetry emerging when the psychedelic experience alighted in modern history.
