All of the available letters of Charles Lamb, a master of the
English essay, and his sister Mary Anne published in this
definitive, scrupulously edited work. The letters, many of them
written to illustrious figures of the Romantic period, are
generally agreed to rank among the finest in the English language.
Transcribing where possible from the originals or facsimiles,
Professor Marrs corrects textual errors found in previous editions,
and he pays particular attention to establishing precise dates for
the correspondence. He includes letters that were omitted from the
last collection (published in 1935 and long out of print), and he
has uncovered more than eighty letters never published before. The
Letters of Charles and Mary Anne Lamb totals five or six volumes,
and presents nearly 1200 letters written by Charles and Mary,
singly or together. The correspondence is fully annotated, the
volumes are illustrated, and the holographic idiosyncrasies of the
originals are rendered typographically wherever possible. Rich in
revelations about the extraordinary lives of the Lambs, these
beautifully written letters are an inexhaustible store of
information about the Romantic era and its major
figures-Wordsworth, Keats, and Coleridge. The publication of
unexpurgated and authoritative texts is an important literary
event.
