Charles Lamb Society

The Charles Lamb Society (CLS) celebrates and contributes to scholarship on the life and work of Charles Lamb (1775-1834) and Mary Lamb (1764-1847). Charles Lamb was an English essayist and poet whose literary circle included important figures in Romanticism such as Samuel Taylor Coleridge, William Hazlitt, Robert Southey, William Wordsworth, and Dorothy Wordsworth. He is best known for his Essays of Elia (1823) and for Tales from Shakespeare (1807) which he co-wrote with his sister, Mary.

The Society is currently co-chaired by Felicity James (University of Leicester) and John Strachan (Bath Spa University). Its president is Duncan Wu (Georgetown University, Washington). Membership is open to all and there is a significant discount on subscriptions for postgraduate students and early career scholars. Membership includes two print issues of the Charles Lamb Bulletin each year.
