Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Life of Charles Lamb It has been my aim to collect and fuse into a single narrative the sum of this scattered information. As in carrying out that task I have tried as far as possible to keep the story of Lamb's life in his own and his sister's words and in those of their con temporaries, my part will be found to be less that of author than of stage-manager. Thanks to the good sense of the Lambs' friends in preserving their letters, and to Lamb's own inveterate habit of autobiography the more my character comes to be known, he wrote, the less will my veracity come to be suspected the task has not been a very difficult one.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Memoirs of Charles Lamb Since those days, what may be called the Lamb litera ture, in the shape of criticisms, collections, lives, &c., has increased to large proportions. So diligent has been the exertion of explorers, that some pieces, thought to have disappeared, or to be apocryphal, have been recovered. Much ingenuity and labour have been expended in this interesting pursuit; one long lost copy of the Poetry for Children was actually unearthed in some distant colony to great rejoicing. A few lines, quoted by Elia at the end of one of his essays, described a boy snatching a fearful joy from reading at a stall. This he quoted as the work of a poet of the day, but a critic sagaciously suggested that it was one of his favourite artful devices for veiling the authorship. It was in fact his sister's composition. Scattered little poems were found in a collection issued by the schoolmaster Mylius, and the indefatigable Mr Richard Herne Shepherd, who has written a useful bibliography of Lamb, contrived to bring together these fragments. The poetry for children, thus recovered, was reprinted for the curious amateur. During these latter years, however, yet another, and even, I think, a third copy, has turned up, which has been sold at auction for an enormous price.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Charles Lamb This Memoir was originally published in the Men of Letters Series, edited by Mr. John Morley. In revising it for the present Edition, I have not materi ally altered its form and scale, but in the six years that have elapsed since its first appearance new facts have come to light, especially affecting the earlier and more obscure years of Charles Lamb's life. The archives of the Inner Temple, the Burial Registers of various churches, the Will of Samuel Salt, the more careful arrangement of Lamb's Letters, besides information from private sources, have enabled me to make additions to the second and third chapters of this book, whereby the early career of Lamb is now told more fully and accurately than before. Some footnotes have also been added References in the book to Lamb's Letters are to my Edition of his Correspondence, in two volumes, uniform with the present.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Life, Letters, and Writings of Charles Lamb, Vol. 5 Lear, King Of Britain, had three daughters: Goneril, wife to the Duke of Albany; Regan, wife to the Duke Of Cornwall; and Cordelia, a young maid, for whose love the King of France and Duke of Burgundy were joint suitors, and were at this time making stay for that purpose in the court of Lear. The old king, worn out with age and the fatigues of government, he being more than fourscore years Old, determined to take no further part in State affairs, but to leave the management to younger strengths, that he might have time to prepare for death, which must at no long period ensue. With this Intent he called his three daughters to him, to know from their own lips which of them loved him best, that he might part his kingdom among them in such proportions as their affection for him should seem to deserve.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Life, Letters and Writings of Charles Lamb, Vol. 3 of 6: Edited, With Notes and Illustrations A larger volume of the Essays of Charles Lamb was issued from the Athenaeum Press by the present editor in February, 1904. Since then, the Essays of Elia (first Series) having been included in the College Entrance Requirements, this edi tion has been prepared with special reference to the needs of our secondary schools. Although much of the matter of the earlier and fuller work has been used, this book is in many respects a new one. Not to infringe upon the rights of the teacher, the beautiful and pathetic story of Lamb's life has been left untold, and only a few suggestions as to methods of study have been made. To avoid similar sins against the pupil, the plan of not giving information that is easily accessible has been adhered to. The right of personal research - a whole some stimulus to interest - is respected in this edition, but help is offered where help is needed. In criticism, analyses of style and structure, and in notes on recondite allusions, the book will, I believe, be found reasonably full.

This book was released on 2017-12-24 with total page 326 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Life and Works of Charles Lamb, Vol. 5 of 12 They are here restored, as nearly as possible in the order of their composition. Again, after Lamb's death his literary executors - who had better rea son than we can have for knowing which of the fugitive verses written between 1830 and his death in 1834 Lamb most valued - added in the subse quent editions of his writings some half a dozen pieces that had appeared in newspapers and jour nals. These have been accordingly retained in the present edition. But other occasional verses - a few translations, epilogues and prologues, epigrams and political squibs, which have been of late years care fully gleaned by editors of Lamb, are not here ih cluded, and the volume makes no claim, in their sense of the word, to possess the merit of complete ness. Without suggesting or believing that even the lightest trifles of a humorist like Lamb are not worthy of preservation, I yet cherish a strong opinion that when a writer has himself chosen for the people of his best, that best should be at least kept separate from matter of less worth. Acting on the same principle, I have left for a concluding volume (should it be called for) those slighter prose essays and jaw d'esprz't which have been collected of late years, and entitled not, I think, very felici tously, Eliana.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Charles Lamb: His Homes and Haunts IN preparing this simple story of the life and work of Charles Lamb, I have relied upon the best of the biographies and criticisms that have been issued since his death, and have not hesitated to refer to Opinions, recollections, and records published during his life. Among the authors consulted are Edward Moxon, who married Elia's adopted daughter, Sir Thomas Noon Talfourd, Percy Fitzgerald, Canon Ainger, the Right Hon. Augustine Birrell, R. D. Gillman, and E. V. Lucas. I have paid several visits to Elia's country: to Buntingford, where he held his first and only freehold; to Widford, where Mrs. Field is buried; to Blakesware and Edmonton. For some years I lived on the top floor of Mitre Court Buildings, from which Lamb could see the white sails glide by the bottom of the King's Bench Walks, and in Harcourt Buildings by the side of Crown Office Row in the Temple, where he was born. I have often tried to follow his road to the East India House, to Dalston, Islington, Enfield, Edmonton, and the other haunts he loved or favoured. If this brief and simple record of one of the most lovable of men and writers can add a few names to the ever lengthening list of his admirers, a very real debt will have been partly paid.

Download or read book The Best Letters of Charles Lamb Classic Reprint written by Charles Lamb and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-03 with total page 580 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Best Letters of Charles Lamb In this edition of the correspondence of Charles Lamb, that of his sister, Mary Lamb, is for the first time included. In it also appear for the first time between seventy and eighty letters, many of them of the highest importance; and it is the first edition to take note in chronological order of those letters printed by other editors that are not available for the present volumes: a step which should, I think, add to the biographical value of the work. In these two volumes I have, after much consideration, placed my notes at the end of each letter, rather than, as in the five preceding volumes, at the end of the book. My reason for doing so was twofold: in the first place, to serve the convenience of the reader, to whom annotation of the correspondence is often a necessity, and not, as in the case of the other writings, a luxury; and in the second place, because by joining the letters with a few words of commentary they can be made practically into a consecutive Life. The self-conscious deliberate construction of Lamb's essays and poems, each a work of art, forbade the introduction of footnotes that might distract the attention from the true matter of the text: hence, in the preceding five volumes, such remarks as the editor had to make will be found sharply separated from the authors part of the book. But here, where Lamb is often writing without premeditation, with a running pen, and writing moreover for a single reader, it seemed to me that the impropriety of interrupting the correspondence by elucidatory comments was so slight as to be almost non-existent.

Download or read book The Life Letters and Writings of Charles Lamb written by Charles Lamb and published by Cosimo, Inc.. This book was released on 2008-12-31 with total page 462 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Biographer E.V. Lucas deemed him the most lovable figure in English literature, but British poet, playwright, and essayist CHARLES LAMB (1774-1834) was unappreciated during his own lifetime. That Lamb is fondly remembered today is partly the result of the six-volume collection of his work edited and annotated by Irish author and critic PERCY HETHRINGTON FITZGERALD (1834-1925) and first published in 1875. Friend to Coleridge and Wordsworth and author of all manner of delightful works from playful verse for children to insightful essays on Elizabethan drama, Lamb is a hidden treasure of English literature, as his entertaining writings reveal. Complete with Fitzgerald's commentary on Lamb's life and legacy, this is a must-read set for lovers of 19th-century English classics. Volume IV includes more of Lamb's humorous and witty "Elia" essays for London Magazine, including: "The Convalescent" "Sanity of True Genius" "The Superannuated Man" "Newspapers Thirty-Five Years Ago" "Popular Fallacies" plus other essays, letters, and the short story "Rosamund Gray."
