Download or read book The American Essay in the American Century written by Ned Stuckey-French and published by University of Missouri Press. This book was released on 2011-05-31 with total page 274 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In modern culture, the essay is often considered an old-fashioned, unoriginal form of literary styling. The word essay brings to mind the uninspired five-paragraph theme taught in schools around the country or the antiquated, Edwardian meanderings of English gentlemen rattling on about art and old books. These connotations exist despite the fact that Americans have been reading and enjoying personal essays in popular magazines for decades, engaging with a multitude of ideas through this short-form means of expression. To defend the essay—that misunderstood staple of first-year composition courses—Ned Stuckey-French has written The American Essay in the American Century. This book uncovers the buried history of the American personal essay and reveals how it played a significant role in twentieth-century cultural history. In the early 1900s, writers and critics debated the “death of the essay,” claiming it was too traditional to survive the era’s growing commercialism, labeling it a bastion of British upper-class conventions. Yet in that period, the essay blossomed into a cultural force as a new group of writers composed essays that responded to the concerns of America’s expanding cosmopolitan readership. These essays would spark the “magazine revolution,” giving a fresh voice to the ascendant middle class of the young century. With extensive research and a cultural context, Stuckey-French describes the many reasons essays grew in appeal and importance for Americans. He also explores the rise of E. B. White, considered by many the greatest American essayist of the first half of the twentieth century whose prowess was overshadowed by his success in other fields of writing. White’s work introduced a new voice, creating an American essay that melded seriousness and political resolve with humor and self-deprecation. This book is one of the first to consider and reflect on the contributions of E. B. White to the personal essay tradition and American culture more generally. The American Essay in the American Century is a compelling, highly readable book that illuminates the history of a secretly beloved literary genre. A work that will appeal to fiction readers, scholars, and students alike, this book offers fundamental insight into modern American literary history and the intersections of literature, culture, and class through the personal essay. This thoroughly researched volume dismisses, once and for all, the “death of the essay,” proving that the essay will remain relevant for a very long time to come.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Leading American Essayists In the preparation of the present volume, the author has relied almost wholly upon the work of his predecessors. The accounts of Irving, Emerson, Thoreau, and Curtis, in the "American Men of Letters" series, written respectively by Charles Dudley Warner, Oliver Wendell Holmes, Frank B.Sanborn, and Edward Cary, have been found of constant use. In the cases of Irving and Emerson, what may be called the "official" biographies, - the "Life and Letters of Washington Irving," by Pierre M.Irving, and the "Memoirs of Ralph Waldo Emerson," by James Elliot Cabot - have provided the chief part of the material. On the subject of Emerson, further help has been obtained from the recently published "Journals" of his early life, the Carlyle-Emerson correspondence, and the brief biographies by George Willis Cooke, Richard Garnett, George Edward Woodberry, and Frank B. Sanborn. In the case of Thoreau, further help has been obtained from Mrs. Annie Russell Marble's "Thoreau: His Home, Friends, and Books and HenryS. Salts sketch in the "Great Writers" series.

To be loved by the young, ah, that is a great thing! Before the stress of the decades has wearied the heart and dimmed with tears the eyes expectant, to be then the chosen friend of youth, pure and holy in its Heavenly aspirations and its turnings toward the light! So is it with Longfellow, who sang in lute tones, bard of the gentle, the musing, the refined. He was not sublime, he was mhe was human. The youth of the future will hold him to their hearts, as it gladly does in these current days of storm and stress.
