Nevertheless, what Lamb's oeuvre might lack in size it more than makes up for in quality: both as a contributor to the great Romantic conversation about art and life, and as the English language's greatest familiar essayist, Lamb is an indispensable figure. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThis volume contains \u003cem\u003eThe Works of Charles Lamb\u003c\/em\u003e, a collection of poetry, prose, and drama published under Lamb's imprimatur in 1818.
