This book was released on 2017-12-31 with total page 352 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Professor Hugh Walker's The English Essay and Essayists is the pioneer attempt to present a complete survey of a literary type that has been most widely cultivated in England during the last three centuries. Within the twelve chapters ranging from "Anticipations of the Essay" to "Some Essayists of Yesterday," Professor Walker considers the writings of all British essayists' not now living whom he deems of any consequence. As was to be expected in a first edition of such a survey, a number of writers have been omitted who unquestionably should have received consideration.1 The inclusion, however, of a very considerable number of writings that cannot be classed as essays, if the term essay is to have any proper signification, indicates an inability to hold to some reasonably consistent definition of the genre. A rigid definition _ may be impracticable; but the writer who selects for study the essay as a type must, in his treatment at least, distinguish it amid all the varieties of miscellaneous prose. This Professor Walker has not done with any degree of consistency: apparently he feels free to treat as an essay any prose composition that interests him, provided that it is not a 'full and closely' articulated treatise, whether or not custom has assigned to it the name of essay.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Great English Essayists: With Introductory Essays and Notes The peculiar value of the essay in the latter half of the eighteenth century was that it afforded the most complete mirror we possess of contemporary life and manners. The same claim may be made for the novel, in so far as it followed the tradition established by Defoe and Richard son, Fielding and Smollett but this tradition was soon neglected. With the rise of what may be termed the Gothic school of fiction, invented by Horace Walpole and carried out by such writers as Clara Reeve, Mrs. Radcliffe, and Maturin, the novel ceased to be a mirror of anything but a romantic and hysteric imagination. It had no relation whatever to real life. It was then that the essay assumed the function of the novel of life and manners. It painted with fidelity the incidents of real life. The characters and portraits in Goldsmith 's essays are as vital as any in his Vicar of Wakefield, and are sketch ed in the same method. So close is the resemblance that Mr. Gosse has declared of the Vicar of Wakefield that it is more like an extended episode in the Spectator manner than a story. And to Goldsmith must be attributed also that artless art of self-revelation so notable in Mon taigne, but much more unaffectedly manifest in the glori fied drudge of Brick Court, who consciously or uncon sciously coloured every page he wrote with the reflection of his own amiable simplicity, deep tenderness, endearing follies, and pitiable misfortunes. These observations, however, carry us beyond the im mediate purpose of this introduction, which is simply to trace the genesis of the essay. The various forms which the essay has taken can be best studied in their examples. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
