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.

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.

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 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.
