	Charles Lamb - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Charles Lamb (10 February 1775 –- 27 July 1834) was an English essayist, best known for his Essays of Elia and for the children's book Tales from Shakespeare, which he produced along with his sister, Mary Lamb (1764–1847).
		His sister Mary, "worn down to a state of extreme nervous misery by attention to needlework by day and to her mother at night", was seized with acute mania and stabbed her mother to the heart with a table knife.
		Lamb, who had never married because of his family commitments, at age 44 fell in love with an actress, Fanny Kelly, of Covent Garden, and proposed marriage in 1819; but she refused him and he remained until his death a bachelor.

	Mary Lamb
		For he who tells the tale of Charles and Mary Lamb's life must tell of a love that was an uplift to this brother and sister in childhood, that sustained them in the desolation of disaster, and was a saving solace even when every hope seemed gone and reason veiled her face.
		Yet Mary loved her mother and sought in many ways to meet her wishes, and all the time her mother kept the bureau drawer locked, and way somewhere on a high shelf were hidden all tenderness-all the gentle loving words and the caresses which children crave.
		Mary Lamb, aged thirty-two, gentle, intelligent, and wondrous kind, in sudden frenzy seized a knife from the table and with one thrust sand the blade into her mother's heart.

	'Mad Mary Lamb' by Susan Tyler Hitchcock review on the official website of Laura Hird
		Because of Mary’s mental disorder, there was no criminal trial, only a coroner’s inquest at which she was treated with a surprisingly modern compassion: sent to a private asylum chosen by her brother Charles, and then returned to his permanent care.
		Mary wrote about the importance of kindness in the care of the mentally ill, and she herself had no hesitation in committing herself during the increasingly frequent attacks of madness which struck her down later in life.
		It is Hitchcock’s contention that matricide freed Mary, and that the period between her first committal and her eventual mental collapse was ‘the closest she would come to the woman she might have been.’ Certainly, matricide and the deaths of her other aged relatives spared her from the appalling domestic drudgery she had hitherto endured.

	Harvard Book Review
		On the afternoon of September 22, 1796, Mary Lamb, 31, elder sister of essayist Charles Lamb, brutally murdered her mother with a carving knife.
		As Hitchcock likes to say, Mary Lamb has long been relegated to the footnotes: if people do know of her, their knowledge is generally limited to her crime.
		Mary Lamb's matricide and her lifelong companionship with her brother certainly had a great impact on Charles's life and work.

		While Mary's need to construct "self" instead of reflecting on it may relate to her experiences of manic depression and social repression, she reaches beyond such categorizations to question the very notion of a unified self.
		Mary Lamb's strongest response to Shelley's essay lies in her resistance to removing external circumstances from the notion of love.
		Mary Lamb's very response to Percy Bysshe Shelley finds its strength in its multiplicity; as in her writings and life, she provides an open-ended interpretation of love.

		In 1823 the Lambs had left London and taken a cottage at Islington, and had practically adopted Emma Isola, a young orphan, whose presence brightened their lives until her marriage in 1833 to E.
		Lamb is here at once profound and subtle, and his work led as much as any other influence to the revival of interest in and appreciation of our older poetry.
		His weaknesses, his oddities, his charm, his humour, his stutter, are all as familiar to his readers as if they had known him, and the tragedy and noble self-sacrifice of his life add a feeling of reverence for a character we already love.

	'The Devil Kissed Her: The Story of Mary Lamb' by Kathy Watson review on the official website of Laura Hird
		Mary Lamb, and her younger brother, Charles, played an important role in the Romantic Movement by contributing to the field of children’s literature and by forming enduring friendships with the leading literary figures of the time, including Wordsworth and Coleridge.
		In all of this, we also get a closer look at Mary who, denied the better education afforded her brothers, was apprenticed as a mantua maker, spending hours on end painstakingly sewing ladies’ clothes or tending to her sick mother who was, by 1796, totally dependent on her.
		For years this little-known fact about Mary’s past was kept from the public by friends and well-wishers who couldn’t reconcile the charming Mary of literary soirees with her wild and dangerous alter ego.

		In the aftermath of her gory crime, Mary became a pioneer of literature, a solace to her brother, a woman famous for her generosity and good sense.
		It was a life of "double singleness," a relationship with all the fondness and reciprocity of marriage, but shorn of hierarchy, "a balancing act of mutual care and alternating excesses," writes Hitchcock.
