Some Modern Essays
Young, Howard Irving | November 7, 1923 issue

add to cart   close window

This article discusses several books on modern essays. Some of the books are "Extemporary Essays," by Maurice Hewlett, "On the Margin," by Aldous Huxley, and "On," by Hilaire Belloc. Belloc shows that something of what the essay may become when written by a man of intelligence and understanding. The essay, properly used, is a vital form of self-expression, equaled perhaps, but not surpassed by the lyric. And it is less hampered by traditional rules. To suggest that it keep within its special province is riot to seek to limit its powers but rather to intensify them.
