Sinossi

Written in early 18th-century England by essayist and journalist Joseph Addison, this book is a collection of essays, articles, and thoughtful reflections on the people, places, and politics of the author's time. Inspired by such classical sources as Horace, the essays are written in a witty and ironic style and cover a range of subjects including morality, literature, and the arts. At a time when great change was taking place in British society, Addison sought to influence, educate, and entertain the growing middle class through this popular series of Spectator essays. The ideas put forth in this work would go on to shape the development of English literature and culture.
