Question

Write a note on steele's prose style with reference to the spectator club ​

Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation:

The Spectator (1711-1712 and 1714) was a weekly magazine written by Joseph Addison and Richard Steele, which followed an earlier weekly magazine, also written by Addison and Steele, called The Tatler.  While The Tatler was designed, chiefly by Steele, to discuss moral issues in light, somewhat gentle and humorous essays, The Spectator focused more consistently on political, philosophical, religious and literary issues, for the most part from what we would now call a liberal perspective (in the 18thC., the Whigs) as opposed to the more conservative political party, the Tories.  Despite the political focus, however, the characters who form the Spectator Club are not viciously satirized--rather, like the essays in The Tatler, the satire is relatively mild but, from a political perspective,  pointed enough so that readers understood that Tories should not be running the government.
