Leather. Zustand: Good/No Jacket. Octavo, Light wear to covers. A few pages are lightly soiled in each volume. Scattered foxing. Along with his friend Richard Steele, Addison was an essayist for The Tatler, a newspaper that covered London's political and social elite. When The Tatler ceased production in 1711, Steele and Addison formed The Spectator, with the intent to "enliven Morality with Wit, and to temper Wit with Morality." The Spectator offered a single, long essay every day but Sunday, on subjects ranging from fashion to literary criticism. It was narrated by the fictitious Mr. Spectator, whose "Spectator's Club" included a cast of characters to entertain, comment on affairs of the day, and teach moral lessons. One of the paper's biggest fans was Benjamin Franklin, who admitted in his autobiography that he had modeled his prose after Addison's essays. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers 019867
