Author Biography Charles Lamb (1775–1834) and his sister Mary Lamb (1764–1847) were not only creatures of the English Romantic Movement, they were also at its vanguard. Charles was considered one of the greatest essayists in English letters for his imaginative and witty prose styling published under the pseudonym of "Elia," and Mary wrote poetry and prose that have enjoyed a renewed scholarly interest with the rise of women's studies. In 1807, they published their most enduring work, Tales from Shakespeare, prose versions of twenty Shakespeare plays targeted at young readers. Even though Mary wrote 14 of the book's chapters (she handled the romances and comedies, while Charles tackled the tragedies), her name was not credited on the book until the seventh edition in 1838. Since then, it has been translated into dozens of languages and has never been out of print.
