Charles Lamb’s letters, selected and introduced by Edward Gilpin Johnson, begin with his early outpourings to Samuel Taylor Coleridge and run through his years at the East India House and with his sister Mary. Jokes, puns, gossip, grief and literary judgments tumble together in some of the most companionable correspondence in English.
A fine introduction to Lamb’s voice for readers of the Essays of Elia and the Romantic circle. Download the free EPUB.
