The Tatler, Volume 3 Produced by Jonathan Ingram, Joseph R. Hauser and the Online Distributed Proofreading Team at https://www.pgdp.net "The Tatler, Volume 3" by Sir Richard Steele and Joseph Addison is a collection of periodical essays written in the early 18th century. This series of writings, attributed to the fictional character Isaac Bickerstaff, addresses a variety of social, political, and cultural topics of the time, often with a humorous and moralistic tone. The essays range from observations of societal manners and customs to critiques of theatrical performances and discussions on fashion, appealing to a broad readership keen on enlightenment ideals and the follies of contemporary life. The opening of this volume presents a letter from Richard Steele to Lord Cowper, praising his virtues and contributions, thereby setting a tone of acknowledgment and respect for distinguished individuals. It continues with a reflection on the entertainment of the opera, expressing disappointment over a lower-than-expected audience due to the absence of a popular performer. Through humorous commentary, Steele remarks on the cultural dynamics of the time, including the competition between high art forms and popular entertainment like puppet shows. The subsequent essays in this portion maintain an engaging narrative style while exploring themes of human behavior, societal norms, and the absurdities of fashion, inviting readers into the vibrant milieu of early 18th-century England.
