Inhaltsangabe

The Tatler was a popular English literary and society journal founded by Joseph Addison and Sir Richard Steele in the early 18th century. The Tatler Vol 4 contains a collection of essays, poems, and letters on various topics such as politics, social customs, morality, and literature. Addison and Steele used the Tatler to satirize and comment on the manners and behaviors of the English aristocracy and middle class, while also promoting the values of politeness, education, and rationality. Some of the notable pieces in The Tatler Vol 4 include "The Accomplished Lady," which discusses the ideal female education and conduct; "The Dissection of a Beau's Head," a humorous critique of the superficiality of fashionable young men; and "The Character of Will Honeycomb," a fictional account of a fashionable and charming man about town.

Über diesen Titel

Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor

Joseph Addison and Sir Richard Steele were two English writers who collaborated on the creation of The Tatler, a literary and social commentary publication that was immensely popular in the early 18th century. The Tatler was first published in 1709 and ran for two years before being discontinued, but was revived in 1711 for another year, with a total of 271 issues being produced. Addison and Steele used The Tatler as a platform to explore a wide range of social and political issues of the time, including manners, customs, and the behavior of the upper classes. They employed a humorous and satirical style that was highly influential and set the standard for future publications in the same vein. In addition to The Tatler, Addison, and Steele collaborated on other literary projects, including The Spectator, a similar publication that ran for eight years.
