Sinopsis

'De Coverley Papers' is a collection of essays originally published in Joseph Addison and Richard Steele?s periodical, The Spectator. These essays, known for their charming wit and insightful observations of 18th-century English life, revolve around the character of Sir Roger de Coverley, a benevolent but eccentric country squire. Through Sir Roger and the diverse cast of characters in his circle, Addison and Steele explore themes of social customs, manners, politics, and the changing landscape of England. Addison?s prose is celebrated for its elegance and clarity, offering a delightful glimpse into the social fabric of early 18th-century England.
