  ESSAYIST ESSAY - LoveToKnow Article on ESSAYIST ESSAY   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
As a form of literature, the essay is a composition of moderate length, usually in prose, which deals in an easy, cursory way with the external conditions of a subject, and, in strictness, with that subject, only as it affects the writer.
Dr Johnson, himself an eminent essayist, defines an essay as an irregular, undigested piece ; the irregularity may perhaps be admitted, but want of thought, that is to say lack of proper mental digestion, is certainly not characteristic of a fine example.
The peculiarity of Lambs style as an essayist was that he threw off the Addisonian and still more the Johnsonian tradition, which had become a burden that crushed the life out of each conventional essay, and that he boldly went back to the rich verbiage and brilliant imagery of the seventeenth century for his inspiration.

 The Personal Essayist
As I go on to write, however, I realize that it is not enough to follow one’s intuition — for it may sometimes be misleading, especially in circumstances when the writer himself is in search of the “self”, or is still in the process of integration and becoming whole.
In these situations, I generated some impressions on who a personal essayist should be in order to somewhat “objectify” his output, which is expected to be subjective.
By being any of the following, it does not mean that the personal essayist will necessarily lose his individuality on the piece — but on the contrary, it is hoped to enhance it further, in a way.

 Cheney on Hunt as Essayist   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
Langland is not depreciated because Chaucer is the greater writer, nor is Jonson because Shakespeare is the greater dramatist, nor is Marvell because Milton is the greater poet.
The ability to write rapidly and well certainly contributed both to his success as a journalist and as an essayist who was constantly forced to write for money.
But it may also have contributed to the unevenness of the essays which has usually been ascribed to such things as the fact that Hunt had no time for revision, that he frequently had no control over the choice of topic, that his interests were so many that he spread himself too thin.

 Jeff Salisbury's Classroom Home Page
Before the essayists tries to draft a thesis, he or she should read through the material that has been written so far--notes, comments, summaries, brainstorming and so forth.
A tentative thesis gives the essayist a starting point that the essayist can later adapt, change and revise as the essayist see fit.
The whole notion of writing is not so overwhelming when the essayist has imposed some limits on it.

 Amazon.ca: Books: E.B. White: The Emergence of an Essayist   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
Dividing White's career as essayist into "four fairly pronounced periods," Root sets out to carefully analyze every stage in the development of one of America's best-known essayists, and the man who put the New Yorker on the literary map.
Two themes dominate Root's study: one is White's method of composition, his revision process and the effect of deadlines on his work; the other is the hybrid quality of many of White's essays, which combine elements from his short columns and letters with literary influences from Montaigne to Thoreau.
In this book Robert Root explores not simply the smooth surface of White's prose, but he wanders the shoreline, showing how White became an essayist, tracing White's wanderings as a paragragher and columnist for the New Yorker.
