| | Charles Lamb |
 | | Charles Lamb is entitled to a place as an essayist beside Michel de Montaigne, Sir Thomas Browne, Richard Steele and Joseph Addison. | | | The calm self-mastery and loving self-renunciation which Charles Lamb, by constitution excitable, nervous and self-mistrustful, displayed at this crisis in his own history and in that of those nearest him, will ever give him an imperishable claim to the reverence and affection of all who are capable of appreciating the heroisms of common life. | | | In 1807 appeared Tales founded on the Plays of Shakespeare, written by Charles and Mary Lamb, in which Charles was responsible for the tragedies and Mary for the comedies; and in 1808, Specimens of English Dramatic Poets who lived about the time of Shakespeare, with short but felicitous critical notes. |

| | Charles Lamb - A Memoir. By Bryan Waller Procter (Barry Cornwall) |
| | Lamb says that his sister has "taken to water like a hungry otter," whilst he "limps after her" for virtue's sake; but he is "full of cramps and rheumatism, and cold internally, so that fire don't warm him." It is scarcely necessary to state that the period of entire abstinence was very transient. | | | Lamb's verses were always good, steady, and firm, and void of those magniloquent commonplaces which so clearly betray the immature writer. | | | Charles was at hand only in time to snatch the knife out of her grasp, before further hurt could be done. |

| | A Biographical Sketch by blupete: Charles ("Elia") Lamb (1775-1834). |
| | Lamb excels in familiar conversation almost as much as in writing, when his modesty does not overpower his self-possession. | | | Charles devoted his life to Mary, who apparently did so much for him as a growing boy -- Mary was more the mother-figure rather than the sister-figure. | | | Lamb has the very soul of an antiquarian, and this implies a reflecting humanity; the film of the past hovers forever before him. |

| | If discussed at all by those who study English literature of the early nineteenth century, Mary Lamb plays the part of an albatross to her younger brother, Charles Lamb, who is considered one of the finest essayists in the English language. | | | Mary Lamb wrote some letters herself, along with poetry, a children's book, and an article on sewing, but her documentary trail is decidedly scattered and sparse. | | | The murder of Elizabeth Lamb set Mary Lamb on a path altogether different from the one planned for her by her family and her society. |

| | Full text and plot summary of Tales from Shakespeare by Charles and Mary Lamb |
| | Although there are a number of other works by Charles, such as The Tale of Rosamund Gray and Old Blind Margaret from 1798 and Mrs Leicester’s School in 1807 which Mary had a major part in writing, the Tales From Shakespeare (1807) remain his most famous achievement. | | | The tales are in fact like an inversion of the process by which Shakespeare took his stories from Holinshed, Spenser and others. | | | Given the frequent allusions to madness in the works of Shakespeare, it is perhaps rather apt that the most famous miniature versions of the bard’s stories should have been put together by a brother and sister whose lives were dominated by acts of insanity. |

| | Tales From Shakespeare by Charles Lamb: A searchable online version at The Literature Network |
| | Charles took responsibility for such powerful tragedies as Othello, Macbeth, Hamlet, and King Lear, while Mary worked on the comedies: brilliant fantasies like A Midsummer Night's Dream and The Tempest, and thought-provoking plays like Measure for Measure, Cymbeline, and The Merchant of Venice. | | | As the authors point out in their introduction, their versions of the tragedies tend to rely on the language of the original plays, while the comedies are more freely adapted. | | | Together the Lambs distilled the powerful themes and unforgettable characterizations of Shakespeare's plays into elegant narratives--classic tales in their own right. |

| | The 'two forgotten volumes' that Lamb refers to are the two volumes that make up 'The Miscellaneous Works of the Late Henry Man' published posthumously in 1802. | | | The essays conjure up, with humour and sometimes with pathos, old acquaintances such as Samuel Salt; they recall scenes from childhood and from later life, indulge the author's sense of playfulness and fancy, and avoid only whatever is urgent or disturbing--politics, suffering, sex, religion. | | | However, Charles Lamb supported his sister throughout his life and in return she was completely devoted to him. |
