Essayistic Spirit: Literature, Modern Criticism, and the Essay

Overview: Despite the recognition of a great tradition of essayists who have been admitted to the literary canon, the genre remains underrated and somewhat neglected in literary studies. This wide-ranging book argues that to relegate the essay in such a way is to ignore the fact that our modernconception of literature is fundamentally essayistic. De Obaldia explores both the creative potential of the essay and the limits of essayism on the borders of philosophy, literature, and criticism by referring our post-romantic conception of literature and literary history back to Montaigne'sEssais, and to a whole related tradition of philosophical skepticism. She draws on a range of writings including those of Montaigne, early German Romantics, Lukacs, Adorno, Derrida, Hartman, Barthes, Proust, Broch, Musil, Bakhtin, and Borges.

I thoroughly enjoyed the elegance of it. It held my rapt attention, even when certain twists were telegraphed. A wonderful companion for a quiet weekend.

Honestly one of the most premium reading experiences lately. It strikes a perfect harmony of dialogue and world-building. Every chapter felt necessary. An absolute must-read for connoisseurs of the genre.

A highly sophisticated read. Beautiful writing, though I craved slightly more depth in the lore. Still, undeniably engaging. A very distinguished novel.

A decent, if standard, experience. The prose was competent, yet the characters lacked the depth I usually seek. Suitable if your reading queue is empty.
