Yes, the noun 'essay' is a common noun; a general word for a short piece of writing, with a specific beginning, middle, and end, that provides information on a specific topic; a word for any essay of any kind.
A proper noun is the name or title of a specific person, place, or thing; for example, "A Supposedly Fun Thing I'll Never Do Again: An Essay" by David Foster Wallace.
Interestingly, the word "essay" also used to be a verb many years ago. In British English, it meant "to try; to make a serious effort." But other than in old literature, you rarely see that meaning anymore.
