A large number of Lamb's essays are here discussed in their historical context but also, crucially, within the context of the periodical as an integral part of Lamb's construction of self. Hull argues that Lamb's persona of Elia is a pivotal figure in the <i>London Magazine</i> - an embodiment of what London is and what it stands for. Lamb is an author who has proved particularly problematic for literary criticism. Here Hull is able to provide a balanced treatment, interpreting Elia as simultaneously an aspect of Lamb's humour and his political sensibility.History of the book (London, England) ;no. 5.Charles Lamb, Elia & the London MagazineCriticismGreat BritainHistory19th centuryCriticismHistory824.7Hull Simon P.1720046UkCbUPUkCbUPBOOK9910810147003321Charles Lamb, Elia and the London magazine4118365UNINA
