The Art of the Personal Essay: An Anthology from the Classical Era to the PresentFor 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
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.Binding Type: Paperback

Beautiful heeled mule
Size: 7, Color: White
Great heeled mule. The fir is a little small/slim. And I do not have a wide foot. But they still fit and they are beautiful and go with anything spring and summer!!

Cute but overpriced
Size: 7, Color: Black
The shoe is cute but I would not purchase again because extremely overpriced! Cheaply made but comfortable. I have only tried them on in the house so I can’t rate wearing them for an extended period of time.

Nice Shoe
Size: 5.5, Color: Black
I don't usually buy shoes online because you don't know about the comfort of the shoe, but I was pleasantly surprised with this shoe. Comfort is really good and the quality and style were just what I was looking for. So happy with this purchase. Shoe was also delivered as promised.

Perfect!
Size: 8, Color: Black
The peep toe falls just right and doesn't cut across my toes. The construction is clean and the leather looks like it will wear well. The heel is stable and of a comfortable height for walking. My feet look so cute!
