For more than four hundred years, the personal essay has been one of the richest and most vibrant of all literary forms. Distinguished from the detached formal essay by its friendly, conversational tone, its loose structure, and its drive toward candor and self-disclosure, the personal essay seizes on the minutiae of daily life-vanities, fashions, foibles, oddballs, seasonal rituals, love and disappointment, the pleasures of solitude, reading, taking a walk -- to offer insight into the human condition and the great social and political issues of the day. The Art of the Personal Essay is the first anthology to celebrate this fertile genre. By presenting more than seventy-five personal essays, including influential forerunners from ancient Greece, Rome, and the Far East, masterpieces from the dawn of the personal essay in the sixteenth century, and a wealth of the finest personal essays from the last four centuries, editor Phillip Lopate, himself an acclaimed essayist, displays the tradition of the personal essay in all its historical grandeur, depth, and diversity.

Catharsis is artistic because it preserves subjectivity with personal voice (esp. in post-Enlightenment isolation?).
评分学习时的悲惨记忆
评分学好英文, 阅读要广泛。时间有限, 当然要先读一些好文章。"The Art of the Personal Essay: An Anthology from the Classical Era to the Present"是不错的选择。编者Phillip Lopate在美国一所大学里教授英语, 也从事essay写作。这本文选从古到今, 从法国到尼日利亚, 收集了不少佳作, 欧阳修的《画舫斋记》("Pleasure Boat Studio")也在其中, 还有鲁迅的两篇文章。美国作家Gore Vidal一篇回忆剧作家Tennessee Williams的文章也被选入, 它就是"Some Memories of the Glorious Bird and an Earlier Self"。
