&#8220;The person who wrote the advertisements is without doubt the most ignorant person now alive on the planet; also without doubt he is an idiot, an idiot of the 33rd degree, and scion of an ancestral procession of idiots stretching back to the Missing Link.&#8221; &#8211; Mark Twain

Angry intelligences, who want the world to fit into systems, hate Montaigne. So do the finger-wagging proselytisers.  Four people with extremely proper accents discuss the inventor of the essay.
At around the 25-minute mark there&#8217;s an interesting distinction between Montaigne and other essayists, including Hazlitt, Orwell, Boswell, and Johnson.
