Eliana: Being The Hitherto Uncollected Writings Of Charles Lamb is a collection of essays, letters, and poems written by the English writer Charles Lamb. The book is named after Lamb's beloved sister, Mary Lamb, who suffered from mental illness and whose care was a major part of Lamb's life. The collection includes a variety of pieces, ranging from humorous essays on topics such as the joys of smoking and the absurdity of fashion, to more serious reflections on literature, art, and the human condition. Many of the pieces are addressed to friends and acquaintances, and offer a glimpse into Lamb's personal life and relationships. The book is a valuable addition to the body of work by one of the most important writers of the Romantic period, and offers a fascinating insight into the mind and personality of Charles Lamb.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
