A collection of essays to mark the tercentenary of the death of writer and politician, Joseph Addison (1672-1719)
Joseph Addison: Tercentenary Essays supplies ample reasons why scholars should widen the scope of their research and move at least from dismissal to ambivalence, or from a focus on Addison as a cultural hegemonist to a more expansive consideration of his many complex contributions as a writer. It is a welcome volume.
