Beginning with Montaigne's writings in the 16th century, the author traces the evolution of the essay as it was practised by writers such as Bacon, Cowley, Temple, Steele, and Addison. The author shows how the essay was shaped by a variety of influences, including the rise of journalism, the coffee-house culture, and the changing social and intellectual climate of the time. Ultimately, the book demonstrates the importance of these writers in the development of the essay as a distinctive and increasingly popular genre.
