Description
1902 Essays of Elia Charles Lamb English Literature FINE BINDING Illustrated 2v
Charles Lamb, a famed English essayist during the reign of George III, was primarily known for two works of literature: “Tales from Shakespeare”, which we wrote with his sister Mary, and “Essays of Elia” – a collection of dozens of essays on a variety of topics. Many of the essays were individually published in the London Magazine beginning in 1820 and gained such popularity that Lamb continued to write more and more essays from a pseudonymous personality named Elia.
This two-volume set of Essays and Last Essays was published by Dent in 1902 which included fine, full-page sketch illustrations throughout.
