Giới thiệu tác giả
Joseph Addison (1672-1719) was an eminent English essayist, poet, playwright, and politician, renowned for his contribution to the early eighteenth-century periodical literature. Addison's literary style encapsulates the refined wit and moral sensibility of the Augustan age. His work is characterized by a polished elegance, classical allusion, and a harmonious balance between intellect and emotion. Addison, along with his friend and frequent collaborator, Sir Richard Steele, played a significant role in the development of the modern English essay through the publication of 'The Tatler' and 'The Spectator'. It is within 'The Spectator', a daily publication founded by Addison and Steele, that the essays of 'Days with Sir Roger De Coverley' were first featured. This collection, offering vivid sketches of contemporary English country life, became one of Addison's most beloved works, admired for both its gentle satire and empathetic portrayal of a traditional, yet fading, way of life. 'Days with Sir Roger De Coverley', provides insight into Addison's talent for social observation and stands as a cherished encapsulation of an era within English society. Addison's influence on English literature has been profound, with his essays serving as exemplars of prose style and his approach to the depiction of character and manners setting a standard for subsequent generations of writers.
