Judson Scruton presents on the origin and expansion of 'society journalism' as exemplified by the 18th century publication, The Spectator, by Joseph Addison and Richard Steele. With their initial publication, The Tatler, the pair arguably created the new genre of coffeehouse literary and social journalism which covered wide-ranging topics, news, and gossip. The Spectator immediately followed The Tatler and was then followed by other classics such as Samuel Johnson's Rambler and Idler. Attendees will view several rare volumes of the 1744 edition of The Spectator which is on loan to the library by generous patrons Jack and Liz Suchy of Wilton.  More info & register
