Book excerpt: This volume presents 1,592 letters, 668 of them previously unpublished, for the years 1850 to 1852.

In April 1851 he and Sir Edward Bulwer Lytton founded the Guild of Literature and Art, a scheme to help writers and artists. He also suffered a number of personal blows: the deaths of his father, his baby daughter Dora, and two of his close friends, Richard Watson and Alfred D'Orsay; there was also anxiety over the illness of his wife Catherine.

Book excerpt: The Works of Charles and Mary Lamb is a seminal collection that spans the full breadth and depth of these sibling authors' literary careers, encompassing essays, letters, poetry, and children's literature. This anthology showcases the remarkable diversity of their contributions to English literature, highlighting their ability to blend wit, sentiment, and a deep humanism across a variety of styles. The inclusion of Charles Lamb's 'Essays of Elia' and the collaborative effort on 'Tales from Shakespeare' stand out as pivotal works that underscore the siblings' literary versatility and creative harmony. The Lambs were integral figures in the Romantic and early Victorian literary scenes, their works reflecting the intellectual and cultural currents of the time. This collection draws from the rich tapestry of the period, providing insight into the shifts in literary taste and the evolution of the essay and children's literature. Their friendship with key literary figures, including Wordsworth, Coleridge, and Hazlitt, placed them at the heart of a dynamic literary community, influencing and enriching their work.

It offers readers a unique lens through which to understand the historical and cultural context of early 19th-century Britain, making it an invaluable resource for students, scholars, and anyone with an interest in the evolution of literary forms and themes. The collection serves not only as a testament to the talents of the Lambs but also as an engaging entry point into the wider conversations and literary movements of their time.

Download or read book John Kemble s Gibraltar Journal written by E. Nye and published by Springer. This book was released on 2015-01-22 with total page 471 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The summer of 1830 stirred revolutionary desires in young hearts across Europe. More than a generation of war and political instability had failed to dampen the fervor still felt from the French Revolution. In England the Cambridge Apostles took up the cause of the Spanish émigrés so movingly visible in London where they had sought refuge from the tyranny of Ferdinand VII and his suppression of constitutional rights. The Spanish Expedition of the Cambridge Apostles has always captured our imaginations. Its blend of idealism and daring, of theory and practice, of thought and energy, seems perfectly to fulfill the principles the Apostles steadfastly espoused, a combination of faith and works. The episodes comprised in most accounts of the expedition are symbolic and filled with intrigue: secret meetings, assumed names, hidden messages, contraband, narrow escapes from the authorities, treachery, and finally a bloody execution on the beach at Málaga. A host of newly-discovered documents now enable us to re-examine one of the most intriguing events in British intellectual history.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Submitted for the approval of her curious and loving public, Records of a Girlhood (1878) is actress Frances Kemble's attempt to tell her own story. A member of the theatrical Kemble family and the subject of much of the era's celebrity tattle, she jokingly concluded that she would rather gossip about herself than have others do it for her. Based on her personal letters of 40 years, this charming work recounts for Kemble's fans what she hopes will be an entertaining, if not, poignant life of an independent woman making her way in the Victorian era.British author FRANCES ANNE KEMBLE (1809-1893) was an outspoken abolitionist and later in life became an inspiration to author Henry James. Her most popular books are Journal of a Residence on a Georgian Plantation (1863) and Records of Later Life (1882).
