The Most Anthologized Essays of the Last 25 Years

In which joan didion appears more than once.

Depending on who you are, the word “essay” may make you squirm. After all, here in America at least, our introduction to the essay often comes complete with five paragraphs and “repeat but rephrase” and other soul-killing rules. But in actuality, essays are nothing like the staid, formulaic, boring things they make you write in high school. They’re all over the place. They’re wild. Or at least they can be. After all, the word essay comes from the French verb essayer , which means “to try.” Essays are merely attempts, at expression, or at proof; they claim to be nothing more. I’ve always thought that was lovely.

For this list, I looked at 14 essay anthologies, plus the three volumes of Lee Gutkind’s The Best Creative Nonfiction and John D’Agata’s three-part survey of the form ( The Next American Essay, The Lost Origins of the Essay , and The Making of the American Essay ), for a total of 20 books published between 1991 and 2016. I ignored all themed anthologies, as well as any limited to a specific year or publication. This is the last survey of anthologies in a series—earlier this month, I looked at the most anthologized short stories and the most anthologized poems —and considering all three lists together affords the ability to compare the way the different forms are canonized and read in America.

Of the three, I was most surprised by the data here. The essay is perhaps the most ravenous of forms, but these anthologies included letters, speeches (notably, a fair number of presidential addresses), excerpts from longer, reported works of non-fiction, and a number of works that I consider stories (like Jamaica Kincaid’s “Girl,” which most agree is a short story, and some argue is a poem, but is certainly not an essay) or even actual poetry (John D’Agata, I know you’re a rebel and all, but “ For I Will Consider My Cat Jeoffrey ,” while incredible, is not an essay). On the other hand, several essays that I consider top-notch classics didn’t make the cut (like Jo Ann Beard’s “The Fourth State of Matter,” and Gay Talese’s “Frank Sinatra Has a Cold,” which each appear only once in all the anthologies I surveyed). And Michel de Montaigne, who essentially coined the term, is only feebly represented. The better news is that five of the nine most anthologized essays are by writers of color, which is significantly better than either of the other lists do in that regard.

Below, I’ve separated my findings into four lists: the most anthologized essays (this should be self-explanatory), the most anthologized essayists (the authors with the most essays total across the anthologies), the most widely anthologized essayists (the authors with the most discrete essays across the anthologies), and the one hit wonders (those essays that were their authors only piece represented across the anthologies, albeit multiple times). At the end, there’s the full list, consisting of all duplicated essays and all essayists who had at least three pieces among the books I surveyed.

New Anthology: Let This Be Our Anthem: Call to Action from Young Writers to the Next President

September 6, 2024

“Let this be our anthem, our unified plea / To create a world where every heart is truly free.” Elsy M.E., Grade 11, 826 Valencia

In an election year fraught with uncertainty, 826 National is uplifting the voices of young people across the country in our newest anthology, Let This Be Our Anthem. This powerful collection features young writers, ages 8-18, raising the issues that matter most to them with the next president of the United States.

Let This Be Our Anthem offers insight into the minds of young people and acts as a rallying cry to the next president and to those going to the polls this November. In an introduction by the 826 National Student Advisory Board, a cohort of authors from across the 826 Network, ask:

“Some of us may be eighteen, some of us may be eight, but we ask that you consider our experiences before our age. Let this be our anthem.”

The seed for this anthology was planted last fall when we teamed up with writer, poet, and 826 Valencia alum Javier Zamora to create the prompt, Hear Me Out , inviting youth to share their voices with the future U.S. President. Hundreds of young writers from all over the country responded, submitting calls to action on topics ranging from LGBTQIA+ rights and immigration to making school more fun — and even a request for a cat! 

In a letter from Javier Zamora, addressing the young writers who bravely shared their experiences, he reflects:

In these pages, you will find courageous students who aren’t afraid to dream and demand a world that we do not yet have. I implore you to truly listen to what these young people, our future leaders, have to say.

The pages within are brimming with students’ hopes, fears, and dreams for the future of our country. We invite you to listen to their pleas and to carry their words with you this year and beyond.

Pick up Let This Be Our Anthem and see the world through their eyes.

Now available online, get Let This Be Our Anthem through our online bookstore . For a sneak peek at the issues students care about, check out the Let This Be Our Anthem digital collection . All proceeds from the publication directly support 826 National and young writers across the country.
