In 1719, the former secretary of State and famous English writer
Joseph Addison passed away and was burried 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 of Englishness in his Lives of the English
Poets. 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 of Addison's huge literary and journalistic legacy in
Europe.
