Excerpt from Selected Essays of Joseph Addison: With an Introduction IN this oft - quoted line, Mr. Pope, with his own admirable terseness, has summed up the character of his great contemporary Joseph Addison. For Mr. Addison seems to have had by nature that most excel lent gift, au even and' cheerful temper. One thinks of him as wearing a certain calm dignity and decorum always. Courteous, urbane, with no angularities of character, throughout a long and busy life he seldom gave'offence to any one and when he did give Offence he offered his enemy no point of attack. And he had a good luck to match his good temper. Pensions and places he seemed to get without seeking, and to keep when everybody else' lost them I believe Mr. Addi son might be king if he chose, said Swift once, with a twinge of envy. The truth is, however, that Addison's good luck, like most good luck, was no mere accident, but the result of uniform good sense and good humor.

Joseph Addison: Tercentenary Essays is a collection of fifteen essays by a team of internationally recognized experts specially commissioned to commemorate the three hundredth anniversary of Addison's death in 2019. Almost exclusively known now as the inventor and main author of The Spectator, probably the most widely read and imitated prose work of the eighteenth century, Addison also produced important and influential work across a broad gamut of other literary modes—poems, verse translations, literary criticism, periodical journalism, drama, opera, travel writing. Much of this work is little known nowadays even in specialist academic circles; Addison is often described as the most neglected of the eighteenth century's major writers. This volume is the first collection to address the full range and variety of Addison's career and writings. Its fifteen chapters fall into three groupings: the first set study Addison's work in modes other than the literary periodical (poetry, translation, travel writing, drama); the second set address The Spectator from a variety of disciplinary perspectives (literary-critical, sociological and political, bibliographical); and the final set explore Addison's reception within several cultural spheres (philosophy, horticulture, art history), by individual writers or across larger historical periods (the Romantic age, the Victorian age), and in Britain and Europe, especially France. The volume provides an overdue and appropriately diverse memorial to one of the dominant men of letters of the Georgian era.
