"Essays and Tales" is a compilation of Addison's essays, which were originally published in the periodical "The Spectator." The Spectator was a highly influential literary and philosophical magazine that Addison co-founded with his friend Richard Steele. It was published daily from 1711 to 1712 and provided readers with a blend of essays, social commentary, and fiction.The essays and tales in this collection cover a wide range of topics and themes typical of the Enlightenment period, including morality, society, manners, and human nature. Addison's writing is characterized by its wit, wisdom, and moral observations. His essays often offer insightful commentary on the daily life and manners of the English upper and middle classes of his time.One of the most famous essays from "Essays and Tales" is "The Spectator Club," which presents the fictional "Spectator Club," where members gather to discuss various topics of the day. The character of Mr. Spectator, who narrates the essays, serves as a kind of moral and social observer, reflecting on the behaviors and attitudes of society.Another notable work in this collection is "Sir Roger de Coverley," a series of essays that introduce readers to the character of Sir Roger, a fictional English country gentleman. These essays provide humorous and often touching insights into the life and values of the rural gentry.
