Book Description
Excerpt from Lamb's Essays: A Biographical Study HE fame of Charles Lamb has increased rather than dimin ished in the fifty-seven years elapsing since his death; and still, as his writings are read and re-read, the personal interest in the man grows stronger. Other writers we are content to know simply as writers; Charles Lamb we must know as a man. If excuse be needed for this volume, it is to be found in this fact. It seemed possible to select and unite such essays as were more directly autobiographical, adding to these a series of annotations, taken largely from the works of Lamb and his contemporaries, and thus to throw, if not new, yet stronger, light on the personal ity of the gentle Elia. Such. In brief, is the plan of the book; and if but one mind gains hereby a truer conception of the depth of that well of English undefyled from which Lamb drew so Copiously, if but one heart is thrilled with a nobler emo tion by contact with the strong life herein revealed, the writer has not failed in her purpose. The essays, with one exception, are copied from magazines in which they first appeared, and many passages omitted in later editions of the essays are replaced. The reasons for omitting these personal references are long since passed; and we cannot afford to lose one word that came fresh and forceful from the author's teeming brain. Corrections and reversions, Lamb always condemned; and all his admirers prefer to read him at first hand, with all his irregularities of spelling and or1g1nalities of diction. The original essays have been reproduced as nearly as possible, with the result, it is hoped, of bringing closer together writer and reader.

Book Description
An in-depth look into the life of Romantic essayist Charles Lamb and the legacy of his work A pioneer of urban Romanticism, essayist Charles Lamb (1775–1834) found inspiration in London’s markets, theaters, prostitutes, and bookshops. He prized the city’s literary scene, too, where he was a star wit. He counted among his admirers Mary Shelley, William Wordsworth, and Samuel Taylor Coleridge. His friends valued in his conversation what distinguished his writing style: a highly original blend of irony, whimsy, and melancholy. Eric G. Wilson captures Lamb’s strange charm in this meticulously researched and engagingly written biography. He demonstrates how Lamb’s humor helped him cope with a life‑defining tragedy: in a fit of madness, his sister Mary murdered their mother. Arranging to care for her himself, Lamb saved her from the gallows. Delightful when sane, Mary became Charles’s muse, and she collaborated with him on children’s books. In exploring Mary’s presence in Charles’s darkly comical essays, Wilson also shows how Lamb reverberates in today’s experimental literature.
