Mary Lamb was a British Poet and anthologist who worked as a seamstress for 10 years to support her ailing family. She suffered from bipolar disorder and, during an episode in 1796, killed her mother with a kitchen retailer knife.
Her younger brother Charles, a poet and essayist who worked for the East India Company, agreed to serve as Mary's caretaker rather than consign her to lifelong institutionalization.
They lived together for nearly 40 years, save for Mary's annual manic episodes, during which she was institutionalized.
