👉 Essayism is a literary movement that emerged in the 19th century, characterized by a focus on the craft of writing and the study of literature. This movement sought to create a new form of writing that was more accessible and less formal than traditional academic prose. Essayists were encouraged to explore the complexities of human experience through personal narratives and philosophical arguments, rather than relying solely on scholarly or literary analysis. The movement also emphasized the importance of self-expression and creativity in the creation of literature.
