Series of 22 autograph letters written by Charles Lamb to William Godwin between 4 December 1800 and [26 July 1827]. The earliest letter can be seen as an example of Lamb's flippant humour. Later that month, he discusses their collaboration on Godwin's play Antonio, for which Lamb wrote the epilogue. In this letter, dated 11 December, Lamb suggests cuts to the epilogue, and on 14 December (the day after the play's disastrous opening night), he proposes abridgements to the play itself. Two long letters written in September 1801 make extensive suggestions for Godwin's proposed new play(which was to be loosely based on Defoe's Roxana), advising him to draw on the life of Richard Savage. In a further group of letters composed in November 1803 Lamb apologises for not being able to write a review of Godwin's Life of Chaucer. On 14 March 1806 Lamb offers his apologies following an argument. Three letters from March and April 1808 strongly object to Godwin's proposed cuts to Lamb's children's book Adventures of Ulysses. The remaining letters concern visits, his health, and literary works.
