This book brings together Addison's extensive writings, covering politics, literature, and public affairs, from his time as an MP and statesman, to his later career as a literary figure and essayist. Addison's correspondence, which makes up the second half of this volume, reveals his wit, friendships, and influence at court. A pioneer of modern journalism, Addison founded The Spectator, the hugely successful periodical, from which many of his best-known essays are taken. His contributions to literature were central to the development of the English language and the Enlightenment. For the first time, this volume brings together all of Addison's works, political, literary, and personal, in a single volume, offering readers the chance to appreciate the full scope of his contribution to English public life, literature, and thought.
