Books with title The Essays of Elia

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 Some passages, however, were evidently withdrawn for purely personal reasons, and these are restored in the present edition, with a few characteristic notes, which, although they may have seemed to Lamb too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.

Excerpt from Essays of Elia (Chosen)If you would read the works of Charles Lamb, you must know Charles Lamb the man, for he is the principal character in his own writings (at leash-those that we remember now and really care to read), and our love for the works and our love for the man are one and inseparable. The best a 'critic or biographer can do is to arrange Lamb's letters and essays in suitable order, and add a few hard facts here and there to make the connection plain.In'the heart of the old corporate city of London is a series of groups of buildings called the Inns Of Court. There were and still are four Of these Inns, which are societies or corporations for the education Of law students. In their Old-fashioned Way they correspond to our law schools. The courts are there, too, and the lawyers, young and Old, have chambers there, where, amid ancient traditions and somewhat gloomy surroundings, they live and even keep their families, or at least their servants' families.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
