Oxford English Dictionary defines an essay as "a composition
of moderate length on any particular subject, or branch of a subject;
originally implying want of finish . . . but now said of a composition
more or less elaborate in style, though limited in range."
The term dates to 1580, when Montaigne's Essais
were first published.
More recently, the American Heritage Dictionary has defined the
essay as a "a short literary composition on a single subject,
usually presenting the personal views of the author." Following
these leads, we have presented hypertexts in this section that are
explicitly in the literary tradition and with a marked personal
viewpoint, in contrast to the more general articles.

"Essay, I Say," devoted to the writing of various sorts
of essays. Several articles I have already posted for this column
deal with the paragraph, its purpose and structure. In this article,
I want to consider the essay itself--what it is and what it is
for.
