  Embraces the very qualities that have moved others to accord the essay second-class citizenship in the world of letters. Drawing from the work of Montaigne and Bacon and recent practitioners such as E B White and Cynthia Ozick, the author shows what the essay means and how it comes to mean, and offers a fresh look at this resurgent literary form.
