doctor Samuel Johnson defines as “ An regular , undigested piece” were as adamant Gorse defines it as a composition of moderate length…. Which deals in an easy,
cursory way with the extremely condition of a subject and stickiness with
that subject only as it a fact the writer.

Of the three definitions courted
the third is probably most useful it include something which most people would
considered typical of the essay namely its personal nature and it would be
better to mention the writer here looked a Bacon, Cowley , Steel ,Addison,
Johnson ,Lame ,Hazlett ,Macaulay ,Belloc, Bernard Shaw ,Virginia Woolf, T.S.
Eliot and George Orwell this are the names that come into the mind of most
English people when there here the essay.
Bacon describes
some of his essay his “Civil “and some of as “Moral”. The civil essay are
though in which he sets down his thought on political questions and the moral are concerned private personal question

are on aesthetics like “ Of Garden” and “ Of Building”.
The essay of Abraham
Cowley is very different and he has given the English essay the friendly
conversational tone. Richard Steel and Joseph Addison had given their word on club
ration which are “The Tatter” and “The Spectator”. Charles Lambs
‘’ the essay of Elia” was a pour essay i its appearance in nature.
William Hazlett no

essays are serious studies of the lives and work of great men like Milton,
Civil and William Pitt The reader read them for an information rather than
enjoyment.
