Charles Lamb (1775 - 1834)

This essay from the Favorite Essays collection showcases a diverse range of topics in Western literature, including subjects like Irish starvation, fine China, railway expansion in the Lake District, and Westminster Abbey tombs. Witty, informative, and imaginative, the essays are presented as passing thoughts that resemble after-dinner monologues or journalism. Neville Jason’s narration adds an urbane clarity to the collection.
