Book excerpt: The Oxford Book of American Essays serves as a masterful curation of American thought and narrative style, chronicling the nations burgeoning literary identity from its infancy through to the dawn of the 20th century. This collection showcases the rich diversity and dynamic evolution of the American essay, featuring works that span from the foundational philosophies of Emerson and Thoreau to the intricate narratives of Hawthorne and Poe. The anthology shines a light on the varied tapestry of American thought, highlighting seminal pieces that have contributed significantly to the literary and cultural landscape of the United States.

This anthology invites readers on a journey through the depths of the American psyche, offering a unique opportunity to engage with the seminal works that have shaped the nations literary and cultural trajectory. For scholars, students, and enthusiasts of American literature, The Oxford Book of American Essays is an indispensable resource that fosters an appreciation for the richness and diversity of American thought. It stands not only as a testament to the individual genius of its contributors but also as a vibrant dialogue across generations, serving as a beacon for those who wish to delve deeper into the essence of American literary tradition.

Download or read book The Oxford Book of American Essays written by W. C. Brownell and published by Prabhat Prakashan. This book was released on 2021-01-01 with total page 396 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This essay appeared originally in the Atlantic Monthly for May, 1883. During the thirty years which have elapsed since it was written the manifestations of the colonial spirit then apparent in the United States have not only altered in character but, I am glad to say, have weakened, diminished, and become less noticeable. Since 1883, also, there has been much achieved by Americans in Art and Literature, in painting, in sculpture, in music, and particularly in architecture. Success in all these fields has, with few exceptions, been won by men working in the spirit which is not colonial, but which it was the purpose of this essay to inculcate as the true one to which alone we could look for fine and enduring achievement. I have called attention to the date at which the essay was written in order that those who read it may remember that it applies in certain points to the conditions of thirty years ago and not to those of the present day.

Download or read book The Oxford Book of Essays written by John Gross and published by Oxford University Press, USA. This book was released on 2008 with total page 680 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The essay is one of the richest of literary forms. Its most obvious characteristics are freedom, informality, and the personal touch--though it can also find room for poetry, satire, fantasy, and sustained argument. All these qualities, and many others, are on display in The Oxford Book of Essays. The most wide-ranging collection of its kind to appear for many years, it includes 140 essays by 120 writers: classics, curiosities, meditations, diversions, old favorites, recent examples that deserve to be better known. A particularly welcome feature is the amount of space allotted to American essayists, from Benjamin Franklin to John Updike and beyond. This is an anthology that opens with wise words about the nature of truth, and closes with a consideration of the novels of Judith Krantz. Some of the other topics discussed in its pages are anger, pleasure, Gandhi, Beau Brummell, wasps, party-going, gangsters, plumbers, Beethoven, potato crisps, the importance of being the right size, and the demolition of Westminster Abbey. It contains some of the most eloquent writing in English, and some of the most entertaining.
