The essays cover a range of topics, including profiles of notable writers like Alexandre Dumas and Robert Louis Stevenson, explorations of specific literary themes, and critiques of the literary landscape of his time. The opening of "Essays in Little" sets the tone for the collection, as Lang provides a preface that outlines the contents and explains the purpose behind each essay. He mentions that several essays were newly written for this volume, indicating a blend of fresh insights and previously published work. Lang’s rich and engaging prose invites readers into a discussion of literary figures, starting with a tribute to Alexandre Dumas, emphasizing the enduring joy and adventure found in Dumas' works.
