Autorenporträt
Renowned English essayist, poet, and literary personality Charles Lamb (1775-1834) is well-known for his contributions to the Romantic era. Lamb was born in London on February 10, 1775, and had a difficult childhood filled with tragedies in his family, most notably his sister Mary Lamb's mental health issues. After Mary's tragic incident in 1796 caused their mother to pass away, Charles assumed responsibility for Mary's care. Lamb spent several decades working as a clerk for the East India Company, and during that time his writing career flourished. His collection of writings, "Essays of Elia" (1823) and "Last Essays of Elia" (1833), published under the pen name Elia, is well known. Engaging in active participation in the lively literary circles of his age, Lamb maintained friendships with notable individuals such as William Wordsworth and Samuel Taylor Coleridge. Charles Lamb's articles, which are praised for their charm, personal insights, and examination of the nuances of interpersonal interactions, are what have left an enduring impact.
