Last Essays of Maurice Hewlett

: "Last Essays of Maurice Hewlett" by Maurice Hewlett is a set of reflective writings from the early 1900s. The collection thinks about different parts of life, culture, and what it means to be human, probably based on the writer's own experiences and knowledge of the past. The writings touch on ideas like remembering the past, how society is changing, and the heart of art and literature. The beginning of the collection shows the reader the writer's thoughts about where his family came from in a village in Somerset. Hewlett tells of a thoughtful trip back to his family's history, looking at the beauty of the land and the important values his grandfather taught him. He paints a picture of the lively landscape, the old-fashioned ways of village life, and how important it is to have a legacy and feel connected to a place. This sets the stage for Hewlett to start looking at bigger ideas about who we are and where we belong as the writings go on.
