About International Essay Day
Education
Ends: Feb 28, 2024
DESCRIPTION:
International Essay Day falls on the birthday of Michel de Montaigne, one of the most influential writers of the French Renaissance. Montaigne popularized the essay as a literary genre. He was born on February 28, 1533, into a family of nobility in the Aquitaine region of France. Montaigne's contributions to literature are principally linked to his seminal work, "Essais," published in two volumes in 1580 and 1588.
The term "essay" comes from the French word "essayer," which means to try or to attempt. Montaigne chose this term for his writings to convey his attempts to put his thoughts into writing in a series of ponderings and meditations. His essays were distinct from other literary forms of the time due to their intensely personal nature, combining intellectual speculation with anecdotal and autobiographical content.
Montaigne's Essays covered a broad range of topics, from the profound and philosophical to the mundane and every day. His writing was revolutionary in its candidness and use of the first person, which was uncommon at the time. Montaigne was a skeptic who questioned the certainty of knowledge and the nature of reality, which he explored through his essays.
The Essays are considered the forerunner to modern thought and have influenced countless writers and philosophers. Montaigne's introspective approach laid the groundwork for later writers and thinkers to explore human nature and the self from a subjective point of view.
Montaigne's impact on the essay as a literary form was profound. He set the stage for essayists to explore a variety of subjects through the lens of personal reflection and opinion. His legacy lives on in how essays express individual perspectives, challenge readers' beliefs, and engage with the broader human experience.
