Publisher's Synopsis
The Tatler was a popular English literary and society journal founded by Joseph Addison and Sir Richard Steele in the early 18th century. The Tatler Vol 4 contains a collection of essays, poems, and letters on various topics such as politics, social customs, morality, and literature. Addison and Steele used the Tatler to satirize and comment on the manners and behaviors of the English aristocracy and middle class, while also promoting the values of politeness, education, and rationality. Some of the notable pieces in The Tatler Vol 4 include "The Accomplished Lady," which discusses the ideal female education and conduct; "The Dissection of a Beau's Head," a humorous critique of the superficiality of fashionable young men; and "The Character of Will Honeycomb," a fictional account of a fashionable and charming man about town.
