Although the George Douglas Atkins' study entitled Tracing the essay: through experience to truth was published several years ago and it does not represent an editorial newness, it still deserves consideration. It is one of the most complex and thorough researches dedicated to the comprehension and the exposition of this 'formless form', that is to say the essay. Nevertheless, the Polish scientifi c reviews did not give the Prof. Atkins study attention it merits - a gap we are willing to fill in. Atkins is Professor at the University of Virginia. He considers himself as a scholar, a non-specialist, an essayist and a critic rather than a literature expert. Even though in the last few years he has examined in depth the works of E.B. White and T.S. Eliot, the essence of the essay has constituted the center of his academic interests. The book we are presenting represents his most important achievement in this scientific field.(fragment of text)
