A very good set spines faded to brown and with some light rubbing to hinges cloth rippling to front board of volume I a touch of offsetting to endpapers. Widely acknowledged as being essential to the understanding of Charles Lamb's writings the author's letters to other literary figures of his time shed light on his own work and Romantic literature. Written between 1796 and 1826 the recipients of the letters include Samuel Taylor Coleridge Robert Southey and William Wordsworth. Interestingly when his letters were first published they were heavily edited because many of them referred to the ongoing mental health struggles that his sister Mary also an author was experiencing. It was not until after her death that the letters could be published in their original uncensored form. Hard Cover. Very Good. New York and Boston: The Lamb Publishing Company and C. T.
