Charles Lamb
The Essays of Elia and Eliana
Paperback
(Forgotten Books March 31, 2013)
The following computer-generated description may contain errors and does not represent the quality of the book.
The Essays of Elia, most of which were contributed to the London Magazine, were first published in book form in 1823, and the Last Essays of Elia followed in 1833. The chief alterations Charles Lamb made in his prose writings were in the way of excision. His Essays, when republished in a collected form, were carefully, even ruthlessly, relieved of all redundancies. Some passages, however, were evidently withdrawn for purely personal reasons, and these are restored in the present edition, with a few characteristic notes, which, although they may have seemed to Lamb too trifling to stand in his collected Essays, will be extremely interesting to every lover of Elia. The other suppressed passages have, as a rule, been given in the Appendix. Almost the only exception is in the Essay on Books and Reading. To these Detached Thoughts (as they really are) have been restored some passages of biographical rather than literary value. In every case the restored passages have been enclosed in brackets. The section entitled Eliana consists of papers contributed to various magazines and miscellanies, which were collected by J.E. Babson in 1864.
This book is a reproduction of an important historical work. Forgotten Books uses state-of-the-art technology to digitally-enhance the work, preserving the original format whilst repairing imperfections present in the aged copy. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in our edition. We do, however, repair the vast majority of imperfections successfully; any imperfections that remain are intentionally left to preserve the state of such historical works.
