Présentation de l'éditeur
JteHE first of our society is a gentleman of li Worcestershire, of an ancient descent, a baronet. His name Sir Roger de Coverley. His great-grandfather was inventor of that famous country dance which is called after him. All who know that shire are very well acquainted with the parts and merits of Sir Roger. He is a gentleman that is very singular in his behavior, but his singularities proceed from his good sense, and are contradictions to the manners of the world, only as he thinks the world is in the wrong. However, this humor creates him no enemies, for he does nothing with sourness or obstinacy; and his being unconfined to modes and forms makes him but the readier and more capable to please and oblige all who know him. When he is in town he lives in Soho Square. It is said he keeps himself a bachelor by reason he was crossed in love by a perverse beautiful widow of the next county to him. Before this disappointment Sir Roger was what you call a fine gentleman, had often supped with my Lord Rochester and Sir George Etherege, fought a duel upon his first coming to The character of Sir Roger de Coverley, introduced by Steele in the second number of the Spectator, was at once appropriated by A ddison. The essay by Steele is given here to make those which follow from Addison more intelligible in their connection with it.

This captivating collection brings together all the essays featuring the unforgettable Sir Roger De Coverley, an endearing and eccentric country gentleman who epitomizes the English spirit during Queen Anne's reign.

They offer a window into the complex social and political landscape of the time, providing a fascinating glimpse into the lives and ideas of the nobility, landed gentry, and professional classes of early 18th century England. The author's incisive wit and profound insights bring to life the dilemmas and aspirations of this bygone era with remarkable depth and nuance. Through Sir Roger's adventures and encounters, the essays explore themes of morality, virtue, and the importance of maintaining tradition while embracing progress.
