Set of 2 Vintage Books, The Lamb's Essays and The Essays of Elia by Charles Lamb

Perfect addition to your book collection! Looking for a gift to give the reader in your life? Vintage books are not only beautiful but collectible.

General Description: "In his Essays of Elia and its sequel, Last Essays of Elia, Charles Lamb explores a broad range of topics and works with various non-fiction tropes that often edge into the terrain of fiction. We see him writing obituaries, dream journals, diatribes, and tributes. What unifies Lamb's essays is his lyrical, conversational writing style. Like many fellow Romantics, he often employs purple prose and shows off his sharp wit, but the essays themselves remain accessible and often fun. Elia is the persona Lamb uses when writing essays, so instead of referring to Lamb or "the narrator," these synopses will refer simply to "Elia.""
