Tales from Shakespeare

Серия: "Children"

The Tales from Shakespeare by Charles and Mary Lamb were written to be an'introduction to the study of Shakespeare', but are much more entertaining than that. All of Shakespeare's best-loved tales, comic and tragic, are retold in a clear and robust style, and their literary quality has made them popular and sought-after ever since their first publication in 1807. This edition contains the delightful pen-and-ink drawings of Arthur Rackham.

Lamb, Charles and Mary

(1764-1847)
   • Charles, the brother (1775-1834)
   Born in London, the son of John Lamb, a clerk of the Inner Temple, he was educated at Christ's Hospital, where he became friends with Samuel Taylor Coleridge (see entry) and Leigh Hunt (see Hunt, James Henry Leigh). From the age of fourteen he was a clerk at the South Sea Company, then from 1792 to 1822, a clerk at India House. From 1799 to 1802 he wrote for various journals. Coleridge included four of Lamb's sonnets in Poems on Various Subjects 1796, second edition 1796. In 1820 Lamb wrote a series of essays (under the pseudonym Elia) in London Magazine. He died from a fall and was buried in Edmonton churchyard. Some of his poetry publications: The Old Familiar Faces, 1789. Blank Verse by Charles Lloyd and Charles Lamb, 1798. John Woodvil, 1802 (a poetic tragedy). Specimens of English Dramatic Poets, with Notes by Charles Lamb, 1808. On an Infant Dying as Soon as It Was Born, 1828. Some of Charles's poems: "As When a Child," "Epitaph on a Dog," "Satan in Search of a Wife," "The Boy and the Snake," "The Triumph of the Whale," "The Young Catechist," "To John Lamb, Esq. of the South-Sea House."
   • Mary, the sister (1764-1847)
   Mary received little formal education, and from an early age she helped support the family and her invalid mother by doing needlework. Brother and sister both suffered bouts of mental illness; Mary killed their mother in 1796 and was cared for by Charles until he died. In 1807 Mary and Charles published Tales from Shakespear, a collection of prose adaptations of Shakespeare's plays, intended for children, of which Mary wrote the majority. In 1809 they published two collaborative works, Mrs. Leicester's School, a book of children's stories, for which she contributed the major part, and Poetry for Children. After Charles's death, Mary's mental health deteriorated, but she survived him by 13 years and was buried with Charles. Brother and sister co-operated in writing other books, and poems. Some of Mary's poems: "Dialogue Between a Mother and Child," "Helen; In Miss Westwood's Album," "Maternal Lady with the Virgin Grace," "Parental Recollections," "The Two Boys," "What is Love?" Poems by Charles and Mary: "Choosing a Name," "Cleanliness," "Envy," "Going into Breeches," "The First Tooth."
