"For more than four hundred years, the personal essay has been one of the richest and most vibrant of all literary forms. Distinguished from the detached formal essay by its friendly, conversational tone, its loose structure, and its drive toward candor and self-disclosure, the personal essay seizes on the minutiae of daily life--vanities, fashions, foibles, oddballs, seasonal rituals, love and disappointment, the pleasures of solitude, reading, taking a walk--to offer insight into the human condition and the great social and political issues of the day. THE ART OF THE PERSONAL ESSAY is the first anthology to celebrate this fertile genre. By presenting more than seventy-five personal essays, including influential forerunners from ancient Greece, Rome, and the Far East, masterpieces from the dawn of the personal essay in the sixteenth century, and a wealth of the finest personal essays from the last four centuries, editor Phillip Lopate, himself an acclaimed essayist, displays the tradition of the personal essay in all its historical grandeur, depth, and diversity." [publisher copy] "In the range of selections as well as in cultural and historical perspective, this is a groundbreaking volume. From now on it will be the Bible for the personal essay."--Max Apple. "Because Phillip Lopate is one of the best essayists and critics of the personal essay in America, what's exciting about his anthology is that we can see his standards here, and learn from them--the variety and quality of the writing he most values, the breadth of subject matter, the authority and humanity of his models. These are voices caught in the act of self-discovery, a unique chorus of speakers whose vulnerability and charm and enthusiasm make them familiar and knowable, even across the centuries. This will be a hugely valuable collection in and out of the classroom."--Rosellen Brown. "A labor of deeply felt love and keenly honed scholarship by an essay authority who knows his territory down to his bones."--Christian Science Monitor. From Seneca, Montaigne, Stevenson & Woolf, Orwell, Thoreau, Berry & Baldwin, Didion, Dillard, Hoagland & Benjamin, dozens more are here. Pristine paperback w/brilliant corners & crisp edges, a square & tight binding w/no creases in spine. Quite presentable & hefty.…
