A propos de l'auteur
Addison, son of the Dean of Litchfield, took high honors at Oxford University and then joined the British army. He first came to literary fame by writing a poem, "The Campaign" (1704), to celebrate the Battle of Blenheim. When Richard Steele, whom he had known in his public school Charterhouse, afficher plus started The Tatler in 1709, Addison became a regular contributor. But his contributions to a later venture The Spectator (generally considered the zenith of the periodical essay), were fundamental. While Steele can be credited with the editorial direction of the journal, Addison's essays, ranging from gently satiric to genuinely funny, secured the journal's success. In The Spectator, No. 10, Addison declared that the journal aimed "to enliven morality with wit, and to temper wit with morality." His brilliant character of Sir Roger de Coverley (followed from rake to reformation) distinguishes the most popular essays. Addison died in 1719. He is buried in Westminster Abbey.

Addison and Steele: Selections from the Tatler and… par Joesph Addison
Old English essay men. My favorite thing about them is they wrote articles under fake names, about people that didn't exist, and the public loved it.
Not yet read. Very pleasant to handle and handsome.
Three quarter crimson calf, gold tooling. Page edges marbled. Engravings and etchings very vigorous. High production standard. This volume bound for St Margaret's Folkestone 1903

More for dipping into than reading straight through.
My copy was printed in 1784. France was a kingdom, America a colony and Australia an outline on a map. Not the kind of thing I normally read, but when someone offers you a copy for £1.99 you barrel the Blue Rinse Brigade out of the way in your haste to the till.
What we have here is literary fellatio. In the case of The Campaign Addison has been asked to drop to his knees, but looking at the addressees of the other poems - Dryden, Lord Keeper of the Great Seal, the King - it’s quite obvious that he has, without a by-your-leave, popped their cocks out and given suck.
The poems are technically pretty good and largely inoffensive, but the contents totally inconsequential. Addison’s interests are power, fame and Britannia. If he weren’t a man of such stature for other reasons they would never have been reprinted.
The best things in here are some translations out of Ovid and Vergil. I have no idea if they would be considered good translations, but Metamorphoses in particular is good fun. Highly imaginative with good CGI and funny at times. I think it’s interesting what he chooses to translate, so we have Vergil’s Fourth Georgic addressed to Maecenas, itself a patronage poem.
There’s also an introduction which is good even by modern standards.
On the whole I enjoyed the book but largely because it was nice to read something so old.… (plus d'informations)
