The Cambridge Companions series features some of the best collections of shorter works on various topics. Soon to be published (in October 2022) is one of the latest in this series, The Cambridge Companion to the Essay (Cambridge University Press, 2022), edited by Kara Wittman and Evan Kindley, which we are proud to have indexed at Southwest Humanities. Considering “the history, theory, and aesthetics of the essay from the moment it’s named in the late sixteenth century to the present,” this volume “reads the essay in relation to poetry, fiction, natural science, philosophy, critical theory, postcolonial and decolonial thinking, studies in race and gender, queer theory, and the history of literary criticism.” The Cambridge Companion to the Essay features contributions from, among others, Merve Emre, Ignacio Sánchez-Prado, and Juliana Spahr.
