After Montaigne - Contemporary Essayists Cover the Essays

Writers of the modern essay can trace their chosen genre all the way back to Michel de Montaigne (1533-92). But save for the recent notable best seller How to Live, Montaigne is largely ignored. After Montaigne corrects this collective lapse of memory and introduces modern readers and writers to their stylistic forebear.
