Elijah Elijah is a collection of essays written by Charles Lamb; was first published in book form in 1823, with the second volume, Last Essays of Elia , published in 1833 by publisher Edward Moxon.

Essays in the first collection began appearing in The London Magazine in 1820 and continued until 1825. Lamb's writing was very popular and was printed in many subsequent editions throughout the nineteenth century. The personal tone and conversation of the essay has captivated many readers; essays "Establish Sheep in the title he now has, the most fun of the English essay." Lamb himself is Elijah from the collection, and his sister Mary is "Cousin Bridget." Charles first used the guise of Elijah for an essay at the South Sea House, where he had worked decades earlier; Elijah was the last name of an Italian man who worked there at the same time as Charles, and after the essay the name remained.

The American edition of both Essays and Last Essays was published in Philadelphia in 1828. At that time, American publishers were not limited by copyright laws, and often reprinted materials, material from English books. and magazines; so the American collection of Last Essays precedes its British counterpart for five years.

Critics have tracked the influence of previous writers in the Lamb style, especially Sir Thomas Browne and Robert Burton - writers who also influenced the contemporary and Lamb acquaintance, Thomas De Quincey.

Some pieces then Lamb in the same style and spirits are collected into the body called Eliana .
