{"product_id":"essays-of-elia-charles-lamb-9780877458517","title":"Essays of Elia","description":"\u003cp\u003eCharles Lamb, one of the most engaging personal essayists of all time, began publishing his unforgettable, entertaining Elia essays in the \u003ci\u003eLondon Magazine\u003c\/i\u003e in 1820; they were so immediately popular that a book-length collection was published in 1823. Inventing the persona of \"Elia\" allowed Lamb to be shockingly honest and to gain a playful distance for self-examination. The resulting essays touch upon a wide range of compelling subjects from the deliciously humorous \"Dissertation upon Roast Pig\" to the poignantly reflective \"New Year's Eve.\" Yet collectively they also comprise a fascinating personal memoir, veiled under the pseudonymous disguise of Elia. Now back in print with a new foreword by the distinguished personal essayist Phillip Lopate and with useful annotations, \u003ci\u003eEssays of Elia\u003c\/i\u003e will provide a delicious stylistic treat for all readers.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Charles Lamb\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0877458510\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780877458517\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Iowa Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/05\/2003\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 476\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.96lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.48h x 6.38w x 1.26d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eLibrary Journal\u003c\/i\u003e 09\/01\/2003 pg. 215\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eNew York Review of Books\u003c\/i\u003e 10\/21\/2004 pg. 54\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eLibrary Journal\u003c\/i\u003e 08\/01\/2003","brand":"Charles Lamb","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44616372519167,"sku":"9780877458517","price":27.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_287577b2-1fb7-4499-a85b-560076996ebd.jpg?v=1703019986","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/essays-of-elia-charles-lamb-9780877458517","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
