"Essays" by Arthur Christopher Benson is a collection of literary critiques and reflections written in the late 19th century. The essays focus on various historical and literary figures, exploring their subtleties, inspirations, and philosophical musings. Benson’s work is meant for readers who seek deeper insights into the personalities and contributions of these figures, appreciating the charm and complexity that often accompany their legacies. The opening of the collection sets the tone for Benson's approach, explaining that he has selected essays based on the captivating qualities of the subjects themselves rather than on a cohesive theme. He highlights the nuanced lives of figures such as John Hales and Andrew Marvell, who are portrayed through anecdotes and criticisms that delve into their philosophies and societal interactions. Benson reflects on the intricacies of individual life experiences, suggesting that the true worth of literature often lies in the complex interplay of personality and circumstance, thereby inviting readers to engage not just with the subjects but also with their own perceptions of the literary world.
