| Summary | "The Works of Charles and Mary Lamb — Volume 4" by Charles Lamb and Mary Lamb is a collection of poems and plays written during the late 18th to early 19th century. This volume represents a significant portion of the literary contributions from the Lamb siblings, spanning from 1794 to 1834, capturing their poetic journey and the evolution of their writing styles over time. The collection includes early works, reflections on personal experiences, and themes of love, loss, and the passage of time, showcasing the unique voice of both Charles and Mary Lamb. At the start of this volume, an introduction provides insight into the chronological arrangement of the poems and plays, emphasizing the Lambs' literary development. It reveals that the earliest poem dates back to 1794 and discusses the editorial decisions taken regarding the ordering of works that include plays and epigrams alongside poetry. The opening portion presents a dedication to S.T. Coleridge, reflecting on the close friendship between the poets and the mutual influence they had on each other's works. Additionally, it showcases snippets of Lamb's poetry that explore themes of mortality, nostalgia, and the bittersweet nature of memory, setting the stage for the rest of the collection.
