I'd recommend Weinberg's Quantum Theory of Fields, vol. 1, Sec. 14 for a modern treatment.

Actually, it doesn't.

What do you want that's not there? Otherwise it will turn into us guessing and you saying "no, that's not it".

@raracon don't like none of that. Especially the link to the Nobel lecture by Lamb...

Well I am searching for a source, where the Lamb shift is explained in a rather short manner (not going into too much detail).

Other than that I would like to have a better structure in my head, like having a good definition of the Lamb shift and what does it consist of (self energy etc.)

Yeah, that is why I am searching for stuff not related to the Wikipedia article. :)

OK, now we're getting somewhere. You want something that is:

1. Shorter than the Wikipedia article.
2. Requires less background than the Wikipedia article.
3. More complete than the Wikipedia article.

That gives people guidance, which is good. However, it is quite possible that no such text exists.
