> The task of any Lamb biographer is made easier by the liveliness and brilliance of the man’s writings, many of which have a timeless quality.

I know how to google. You'd think an article that cases poetic about something would give any examples of said something.


> Lamb has always attracted admirers (notably in the ranks of the Charles Lamb Society)

Isn't the fact that a fan club of an author has admirers among its members the opposite of notable?

Anyway, the review makes me want to check out some of his writing on Project Gutenberg, so that's a good sign!
