About the book
"The Tatler, Volume 3" by Sir Richard Steele and Joseph Addison is a periodical journal published between 1709-1711. Using the pen name Isaac Bickerstaff, Steele created a pioneering journalistic persona to share gossip and stories from London's coffeehouses while instructing middle-class readers on manners and morals. With contributions from Addison and Swift, these cultivated essays established a new approach to journalism that would influence British essay writing for generations, ultimately leading to the creation of their famous successor, "The Spectator."
