En torno a los libros de ensayo.

Richard Steel y Joseph Addison han nacido en el mismo año 1672 y mueren dos años antes el segundo que el primero. En la historia de la literatura inglesa sus publicaciones periódicas son importantes. La de Steel se llama el Tatler y la de Addison, el Spectador. Su influencia fue crucial. El ensayo se ha definido, se le considera desde entonces un nuevo género literario, con el precedente de los ensayos de Montaigne, de los tratados de Erasmo, etcétera. Eran periódicos destinados a vivir muchos años más que los libros. España es un país rico en ensayistas. Los hay en todas las épocas, sobre todo, a partir de la generación del noventa y ocho. El ensayo es un género muy apropiado a los espíritus sutiles, penetrantes, observadores, minuciosos de la vida y de los objetos. El género da también valor de primordialidad a lo que a veces se considera secundario. Destaca tan cultivado ensayista como Joaquín de Entrambasaguas, catedrático de Historia de la Lengua española en la Universidad Central de Madrid, cuyos ensayos demuestran una exquisita sensibilidad y maestría para enfocar los problemas del mundo.
