To provide a framework for thinking about the essay as a form of reading and writing, our general introduction focuses on the most dis- tinctive aspects of the essay as defined or commented on by essayists who appear in the collection. Though essays can, of course, be under- stood in and of themselves, they are so directly related to the experience and outlook of their authors that it seems useful to know more than just a handful of facts about the persons who have written them. So, our introductions to each of the essayists provide detailed information about their lives, careers, accomplishments, interests, and ideas, as well as their thoughts about writing.
