The Spectator was a popular periodical edited by Joseph Addison and Richard Steele that was published in the early 18th century. It contained essays, stories, and commentary on a wide range of topics, including politics, literature, and society. The publication was intended to entertain and educate readers, and it quickly became a sensation, with a circulation of up to 4,000 copies per day. Addison was particularly known for his essays, which were witty and insightful, and which helped to shape the development of the English essay. The Spectator was influential in its time and is considered a significant contribution to English literature and journalism.
