What is an Essay?
Paper details
In this course, you will be asked to write short essays of 250-750 words in each module. In preparation for these weekly assignments, you are now asked to reflect upon your own writing process and what you understand an essay to be. The essay has a long history.
Perhaps history’s greatest essay writer, the French philosopher Michel de Montaigne, published his volume in 1575 at the height of the Renaissance. Reading any one of his Essays will give you an excellent idea of how this form of writing can be perfected.
Ralph Waldo Emerson was an American master of the form. Emerson’s Essays are available online for free.
You might also do your own research on the essay before writing this brief assignment. Most importantly for this assignment is your own thinking about essays.
