LIST OF LITERARY PERIODICALS

 

During the early part of the 1700's Joseph Addison, the Tatler and Sir Richard Steele, the Spectator, came together to write The Tatler and the Spectator. Through their hardships of life they came about understanding what others were feeling and the actions that they took.

The Tatler, a periodical launched in London by the essayist Sir Richard Steele in April 1709, appearing three times weekly until January 1711. At first its avowed intention was to present accounts of gallantry, pleasure, and entertainment, of poetry, and of foreign and domestic news.

The Tatler was founded in 1709 by Richard Steele, who used the pen name "Isaac Bickerstaff, Esquire".

The Review was a newspaper founded by Daniel Defoe in 1704.

The spectator  succeeded The Tatler, which Steele had launched in 1709. In its aim to “enliven morality with wit, and to temper wit with morality,” The Spectator adopted a fictional method of presentation through a “Spectator Club,” whose imaginary members extolled the authors' own ideas about society.

The Rambler was a periodical (strictly, a series of short papers) by Samuel Johnson.

The Guardian was a short-lived newspaper published in London from 12 March to 1 October 1713.
