"Essays" by Alice Meynell is a compilation of thoughtful essays from the late 1800s, where the author shares her sharp views on nature, language, and what it means to be human. The book starts by touching on nature, like the wild beauty of plants that manage to grow in cities such as Rome; through vivid descriptions, the first essay "Ceres' Runaway" explains how nature can still win, even when people try to control it, and this shows Meynell's observant and poetic way of writing as she looks at ideas about beauty, life, and how people interact with the world around them. Her writing mixes personal feelings with deeper thinking, securing her place as an important voice in literature.
