The Life, Letters, and Writings of Charles Lamb, in Six Volumes

Charles Lamb, a British poet, playwright, and essayist, was largely unrecognized during his lifetime, despite being described as a lovable figure in English literature by biographer E.V. Lucas. His enduring legacy is significantly attributed to a six-volume collection of his works, meticulously edited and annotated by Percy Hetherington Fitzgerald, which was first published in 1875. This collection has played a crucial role in preserving and celebrating Lamb's contributions to literature.
