Exposé

In 1719, the former secretary of State and famous English writer Joseph Addision passed away and was buried in Westminster Abbey among the great national poets. A few decades later, the great lexicographer Samuel Johnson defined Joseph Addison’s prose style as the quintessence ot Englishness. This selection of essays ambitions to celebrate the tercentenary of his death by showing that Addison was part of the European as much as the English Enlightenment. It explores how European countries and cultures played a decisive, if somewhat ambiguous role in his career and writing. It finally offers insights to Addison’s huge literary and journalistic legacy in Europe.
