Description: Essays of Elia is a collection of essays written by Charles Lamb (1775-1832), a popular author of works for both adults and children. Charles Lamb writes about life in all its humble and daily, as well as unique and grandiloquent, occasions in the Essays of Elia which was first published in book form in 1823. Lamb's essays were very popular; the personal and conversational tone of the essays has charmed many readers. Lamb himself is the Elia of the collection, and his stister Mary is "Cousin Bridget." Charles first used the pseudonym Elia for an essay on the South-Sea House, where he had worked decades earlier; Elia was the last name of an Italian man who worked there at the same time as Charles, and after that essay the name stuck.
