Mary Ann Lamb: A Romantic Poet

Abstract

Mary Ann Lamb is a Romantic poet whose work in the literature of English was in the shadows, though she was the sister of Charles Lamb. This diminished image of Mary could also be because of her being caught hold of the Bipolar Disorder, on one such onset she stabbed her own mother Elizabeth Lamb. It was her brother who was her guardian and also brought her into the field of writing. The works done by Mary was always in collaboration with Charles. This collaboration made the sister and brother to bring three major works for juvenile literature which are namely Tales from Shakespeare, Mrs Leicester’s School, and Poetry for Children. This paper is done in order to establish and explore the poem “The End of May.” to show the writing style of Mary.
