# The Tatler, Volume 2

By Richard Steele, Sir and Joseph Addison.

"The Tatler, Volume 2" by Sir Richard Steele and Joseph Addison is a periodical published between 1709-1711. This groundbreaking journal revolutionized British journalism by offering cultivated essays on contemporary manners and social behavior through the persona of Isaac Bickerstaff. Drawing gossip and stories from London's most fashionable coffeehouses, Steele and Addison created a witty guide to middle-class propriety and Whiggish thought. Their innovative approach established a pattern that would influence generations of essayists and shape the future of British periodical literature.
