Michel De Montaigne's Essays by Harold Bloom
A close, appreciative reading that presents the Essays as the founding work of modern self-conscious writing, arguing that its conversational, digressive style and radical skepticism invent a new mode of inwardness and literary freedom; the book traces how the writer’s candid self-examination, ironic erudition, and resistance to systematic philosophy reshape ideas about individuality, morality, and the limits of knowledge, and shows why later writers and thinkers have continued to engage with his original, humane voice.
