Written by clergyman Alfred Ainger (1837 1904), this 1882 biography
of writer Charles Lamb (1775 1834) is the twenty-first book in the
first series of 'English Men of Letters'. Charles Lamb began
publishing his poetry in the late 1790s. Both he and his sister
Mary (1764 1847), who had been released into Charles' care after
killing their mother in a fit of insanity in 1796, began writing
for children with the encouragement of William Godwin, their works
including the Tales from Shakespeare (1807) for which they are best
known. Lamb was also widely regarded for his skill as an essayist,
and particularly for his Essays of Elia. Ainger devoted much of his
career to Lamb's life and writings, including a six-volume edited
collection of Lamb's work. His biography focuses on Lamb's literary
output and his place as a critic as well as the events of the
writer's life.
