 Online NewsHour: Little Things Mean a Lot- January 11, 2000
Essayists worship their God because He is always right about the meaning of small things, even when one does not want Him to be right.
I guess you could say that essayists are small-minded -- in that we are not unlike poets, who often start poems with a single isolated image, and then explode it to the size of a universe.
But essayists don't have the cachet of poets, or the pizzazz of novelists or playwrights.

 Marjorie Perloff--EMILY DICKINSON AND THE THEORY CANON
The essayists here discuss such problems as figuration, genre, syntax, and the nature of lyric in a wide variety of poets-- Sappho, Ben Jonson, Blake, Wordsworth, Shelley, Swinburne, Rossetti, Hardy, Baudelaire, Eliot, Whitman, Stevens, and Auden-- but again Dickinson is conspicuously absent.
On the contrary, an examination of the variant word lists that begin to appear on the fringes of Dickinson’s poems in the early 1860s, suggests that she did not believe that words were in themselves irreplacable.
The notion of substitution implicit in such a list goes directly counter to theories of the mot juste, of the Symbolist doctrine that the chosen word is the only word that can convey a desired set of meanings.

Dylan offered him some left-wing thinkers (a list on which he kindly included me), but Jay Tea, in his comments, was non-plussed.
However, the concept of general differences that may be related to, or a result of the basic differences in philosophy between the two sides is fascinating to me. I don't mean to offend anyone here, but I have a few thoughts on this general topic.
I think one difference between a 'conservative' essayist and a 'liberal' essayist is that a conservative generally seems to feel the need to explain fully exactly where are coming from while liberals often seem to assume that their positions are the 'default' positions.

As the stories of the five essayists in this feature illustrate, the term "medical (or clinical) writing" covers a diverse and increasingly broad range of job types.
Perhaps because of this diversity, each essayist has found that their writing job has opened doors to all kinds of other professional opportunities, including business, biotech, marketing, and designing (as opposed to writing up) clinical trials.
Finally, as with each Next Wave feature, the editorial team has--with the help of the essayists--assembled a list of potentially useful Web resources, both within the Next Wave site and elsewhere on the Web.

The list of writers and celebrities whose charge accounts had been frozen was equally illustrious—a who’s who of downtown cultural life.
Conrad had his own strict reading list that he drew up for me one evening shortly after I started working at the bookstore, during a lull in the usual crush of people buying books.
But O’Brien was only a sidebar to the modernist reading list Conrad had in mind for me. Starting in the 19th century, when the novel reigned supreme, Conrad’s list rushed into the 20th century, a modernist express.

Now Dowd goes after John Kerry, bringing up his love of poetry, musical theater and old movies (wink wink, nudge nudge) until the column points out his love of football and eventually turns into a simple list of Kerry's favorite movies and TV shows, as MoDo struggles to avoid use of the M-word.

I agree, the world has an excellent tradition of nature essayists (Henry Mitchell is my personal favorite, but I prefer ones about small and personal experiences instead of a huge view of saving the world...you know, the one child, one village at a time point of view), but the Mormon culture does not.
Perhaps that's because those who really dig around in the dirt, like you and I, Alan, and the people who settled the SL Valley, have been too busy digging in the dirt to write about it.
