Charles Lamb

Fuller’s books about England’s religious past helped to stimulate an outpouring of historical writing. Peter Heylyn wrote about some of the same subjects as Fuller, and so did Gilbert Burnet, Edward Stillingfleet, John Strype, and Jeremy Collier. Burnet, who looked for models for his history of the English Reformation, was sarcastic about Fuller, partly because of the latter’s “odd way of writing.” Fuller’s work was not highly regarded in the late seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. In the nineteenth century Charles Lamb, Robert Southey, and Samuel Taylor Coleridge deeply admired him for his insights and praised him for his writing. Several nineteenth-century historians defended his work. His reputation has remained uncertain, despite fresh assessments in recent years. Coleridge was remarkably apt in his viewpoint. Fuller saw the broader significance of the events he described and was one of the most sensible scholars and writers of his time.

Do So

It is well known that Hone's Table Book of 1827 contains a number of contributions from Charles Lamb, including his Garrick Extracts. It is not so well known, however, that dates assigned by editors to these pieces do not conform to the general policy of dating Lamb's work according to the time of publication. Some of these articles are dated merely by the year; some have been dated by month—incorrectly in two cases; and one or two according to the time of composition. This unsatisfactory solution of a difficulty arises from the fact that the weekly numbers of the Table Book are not dated and are not easily distinguishable from each other. I have not seen any attempt to assign dates to them, but after a careful analysis I have found it possible to do so. As a result, dates previously assigned to Lamb's work in this publication can now be corrected and perfected.
