Days with Sir Roger de Coverley Summary
| The adventures of Sir Roger de Coverley (country gentry) appeared in the English periodical The Spectator between 1711 and December 1712. Even more successful than its predecessor, The Tatler, The Spectator ran off 555 issues before its close, rising to a peak circulation of 14,000 copies. Supposedly written by members of a small club, The Spectator vowed to be non-political, with Joseph Addison and Ricard Steele attempting to ensure their objectivity on the subjects under discussion. Each edition of The Spectator dealt with a specific topic that was then subject to philosophical analysis by the symbolic figures representing members of the British middle class. |
