Sinopsis

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 III includes Lamb?s humorous and witty essays that appeared under the pseudonym 'Elia' in London Magazine, including:? 'The South Sea House'? 'Oxford in the Vacation'? 'The Two Races of Men'? 'New Year?s Eve'? 'Imperfect Sympathies'? 'Valentine?s Day'? 'Modern Gallantry'? and many more.
