This is a collection of essays written by Charles Lamb, a prominent English essayist of the 19th century. It was first published in book form in 1823, with a second volume, Last Essays of Elia, issued in 1833 by the publisher Edward Moxon. This edition contains both volumes.
In "Essays of Elia," Lamb adopts the persona of Elia, a whimsical and reflective narrator, to explore a variety of topics ranging from everyday life to literary criticism. Through his essays, Lamb blends humor, nostalgia, and keen observations of human nature, creating a rich tapestry of 18th-century London society. In "Last Essays," Lamb continues his exploration of life's complexities and nuances. However, this collection is marked by a sense of maturity and introspection, reflecting Lamb's own experiences and reflections as he grapples with mortality and the passage of time. The essays in "Last Essays" exhibit Lamb's characteristic wit and warmth, but with a deeper sense of poignancy and resignation.
