Description
Joseph Addison (1672-1719) was an English essayist, poet, and statesman. His Remarks on Italy (1705) chronicled early travels. The distinction he achieved with the epic Campaign (1704) on Marlborough's victory at Blenheim led to political appointments, and he served in Parliament (1708-19). Addison contributed to his friend Richard Steele's periodical the Tatler after 1710. There, and in the Spectator and Guardian, he raised the English essay to an unsurpassed height. In prose marked by simplicity, order, and precision, Addison promoted reason and moderation in life.
