Description

First published in 1988 and part of Routledge Revivals, this scholarly study examines the essay as a distinctive literary genre, exploring both its intellectual history and creative possibilities. Graham Good's analysis connects the rise of the essay to the emergence of the novel and empiricism in science, whilst focusing primarily on the essay's internal structure and mechanics. Drawing on critical perspectives from Adorno and Lukacs, the work presents the essay as a form that expresses individualism and freedom from traditional authority, revealing how the self constructs itself through the writing process. This comprehensive exploration rediscovers the essay's significance in literary tradition and demonstrates why this form remains vital for contemporary readers and writers seeking authentic self-expression.
