The essay as a genre had its beginnings with Montaigne, in the sixteenth century, and continues to flourish today. Like the novel, it is an elastic and accommodating formula.

The essays that make up this anthology touch on topics as disparate as revenge, astronomy, servants, affectation and Samuel Johnson, on biographical genre, words, fashion and rotisserie, on delirium, beer, dreams, the tomb of John Keats, the existential synecdoche of riding a bicycle, on Don Quixote, ignorance, the ends of history, autumn, bibliographic crimes, seductions, etc. In short, this book is an exhibition of what first-rate artistic minds can do in essay literature.
