Annotation: What an Immense wealth of talent has appeared in the first quarter-century of The Pushcart Prize editions, and much of that talent has been displayed in the essays.

From the start in 1976, well before the current plethora of essay anthologies, the editors of The Pushcart Prize recognized and celebrated the essay; over the years the series has witnessed the development of many forms of the genre, including a strong renaissance in the personal essay. This monumental collection selects opinions and reflections on much of the social, literary, and political history of recent decades.
