About This Topic

A literary essay is a non-fiction essay about any literary topic.  The term “literary” simply means of or having to do with literature, therefore an essay that is about literature is a literary essay.  Generally, the point of a literary essay is to determine a person’s in-depth understanding of a particular novel, short-story, or other work of literature.  Topics for literary essays can be extremely broad, like “the role of emotion in Shakespeare’s plays” or narrower, like “the role of jealousy in Iago’s treatment of Othello in Shakespeare’s Othello.”  Therefore, when asked to write a literary essay, it is critical to tailor your response to the prompt or directions you are given.

The history of the Rosicrucian Order
As a thesis-length investigation of the history of the Rosicrucian Order, this essay investigates the origins of the order within the political and religious context of seventeenth century Germany. Arising at a time when England and Germany were uniting against the power of the Roman Catholic Church, the Rosicrucian Order taught a radical form of progressive social justice geared towards the betterment of society. Although the legacy of Rosicrucianism is not all positive, in the end the movement's contributions to politics, art, literature, and metaphysics outweigh any negative consequences of its teachings.
