| Synopsis: |
The first historically and internationally comprehensive collection of its kind, "Essayists on the Essay" is a path-breaking work that is nothing less than a richly varied sourcebook for anyone interested in the theory, practice, and art of the essay. This unique work includes a selection of fifty distinctive pieces by American, Canadian, English, European, and South American essayists from Montaigne to the present many of which have not previously been anthologized or translated as well as a detailed bibliographical and thematic guide to hundreds of additional works about the essay.From a buoyant introduction that provides a sweeping historical and analytic overview of essayists thinking about their genre a collective poetics of the essay to the detailed headnotes offering pointed information about both the essayists themselves and the anthologized selections, to the richly detailed bibliographic sections, "Essayists on the Essay" is essential to anyone who cares about the form.This collection provides teachers, scholars, essayists, and readers with the materials they need to take a fresh look at this important but often overlooked form that has for too long been relegated to the role of service genre used primarily to write about other more literary genres or to teach young people how to write. Here, in a single celebratory volume, are four centuries of commentary and theory reminding us of the essay s storied history, its international appeal, and its relationship not just with poetry and fiction but also with radio, film, video, and new media." |
