The Tatler, Volume 1
by Richard Steele, Sir, Joseph Addison
Edited by George Atherton Aitken
"The Tatler, Volume 1" by Sir Richard Steele and Joseph Addison is a literary and society journal published between 1709 and 1711. Using the invented persona of Isaac Bickerstaff, Steele created a revolutionary approach to journalism by blending real gossip from London coffeehouses with fictional tales. The publication featured cultivated essays on contemporary manners and Whiggish views, pretending to station reporters at the city's most popular coffeehouses. This groundbreaking periodical established patterns that would influence British essayists for generations to come.
