Charles Lamb, Elia and the London Magazine cover

The inherent 'metropolitanism' of writing for a Romantic-era periodical is here explored through the Elia articles that Charles Lamb wrote for the London Magazine.

'This is an extraordinary study that covers an impressive body of often overlooked literature with subtlety, skill and aplomb ... It is a must-read for for readers of Lamb, Cockneyism and writings of the city.' The Charles Lamb Bulletin 'Simon Hull's book is an especially welcome reevaluation of Lamb's essay writing.'
