    Description

    Illustrated, Publishers' Original Binding

    Comprised of six hundred and thirty five essays published in the Spectator between 1711 and 1714, this interesting work offers a window into the political and cultural issues of the early eighteenth century. The Spectator was a daily periodical published by politicians Joseph Addison and Sir Richard Steele, and was one of the bestsellers of the eighteenth century. The publication was framed as the reports of Mr Spectator, and contained news, alongside cultural commentary on manners, morals, and literature. This new edition includes biographical information about the journal's contributors.
