Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Lover, and Other Papers of Steele and Addison: Edited by Walter Lewin The first Steele´s numerous periodical publications was the Tatler, the initial number of which appeared on Tuesday, the 12th of April 1709. It professed to be written by "Isaac Bickerstaff, Esq." This name had been made popular by its use for a famous practical joke played by Swift on Partridge the Astrologer, and its adoption by Steele in connection with the Tatler served to bring the new enterprise into notice. In introducing the paper Isaac Bickerstaff remarks: "I shall from time to time report and consider all matters of what kind soever that shall occur to me, and publish such my advices and reflections every Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday in the week, for the convenience of the post. I resolve also to have something which may be of entertainment to the fair sex, in honour of whom I have invented the title of this paper." For some time each number was divided into several parts, dated from different localities, and under one or another of these heads appeared news, politics, and social gossip and criticism. Addison, who did not know beforehand that Steele was about to publish this paper, soon recognised the hand of his friend in the work, and promptly offered his aid. His first contribution appeared in No. 18. The Tatler, after Addison joined it, gradually changed its character. Politics received less attention, and essays on literary and social topics became ultimately the leading feature. Steele and Addison had already long been friends.
