An essay is a relatively short piece of written work that addresses a specific issue or question. It provides the writer with the opportunity to express their own ideas about a historical topic. It is also a test of the ability to construct answers to questions in a well-structured, relevant and cogent manner. Good essays give the impression that they have been crafted like a piece of art — they mix a high degree of technical skill with an element of creative flair.
