A Chime of Words

I "Et besøg i Sevenoaks og andre essays" er det forfatterens kærlighed til sprog og litteratur, der er i højsædet. Gennem ni essays fortælles der om forfattere og litteratur, der på forskellig vis har sat deres aftryk i kulturhistorien. Samlingen rummer essays om blandt andet den franske renæssancehumanist Michel de Montaigne, der tilskrives æren for at have grundlagt selve essaygenren og om den franske aristokrat Madame de Sévigné, der er husket for sin brevskrivning. Også mere nutidige forfattere som britiske Jane Austen og franske Marcel Proust bliver sat under kærlig behandling i bogen. Logan Pearsall Smith (1865 - 1946) var en amerikanskfødt britisk litteraturkritiker og essayist. Han blev uddannet fra universiteterne Harvard og Oxford og var kendt for sine aforismer og epigrammer. I løbet af sit liv udgav Smith en lang række bøger, herunder både faglitterære bøger om det engelske sprog og sprogbrug, essaysamlinger og selvbiografien "Unforgotten Years" fra 1938.
