Essays of the Masters cover

This unorthodox but delightful anthology of 42 essays focuses on the masters of world literature—writers best known for novels, plays, and poems—and how they put the essay to their personal use. Contributors include Auden, Balzac, Conrad, Dickens, Dostoevski, Eliot, Faulkner, Flaubert, Gide, Goethe, Hardy, Hawthorne, Heine, Hemingway, Kafka, Kipling, Lawrence, Melville, Pirandello, Poe, Proust, Sartre, Tolstoy, Twain, Whitman, Wilde, Woolf, and Yeats.

...this volume contains 42 essays by the literati of American, English, and European letters, dating back to Melville, and his buddy Hawthorne, Dickens, and Goethe, to Conrad, Flaubert, Dostoevski, Poe, Twain, and Kipling, on up to Woolf and Hemingway. Lots of big shots discuss everything from Christmas to bullfighting, with a leaning toward literary matters. * Library Journal *
