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 London Magazine - 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. 410 0$aHistory of the book (London, England) ;$vno. 5. 517 3 $aCharles Lamb, Elia & the London Magazine 606 $aCriticism$zGreat Britain$xHistory$y19th century 615 0$aCriticism$xHistory 676 $a824.7 700 $aHull$b Simon P.$01720046 801 0$bUkCbUP 801 1$bUkCbUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910810147003321 996 $aCharles Lamb, Elia and the London magazine$94118365 997 $aUNINA
