This book offers the latest scholarship on this influential series
of essays. Taking advantage of the insights provided by such
critical perspectives as new historicism, feminism,
postcolonialism, psychology, postmodernism, and cultural studies,
the scholars represented here take a fresh look at The Spectator
and its relation to the changing culture that influenced it-and was
influenced by it. A variety of cultural changes in the seventeenth
century-political, social, and economic, to name a few of the major
ones-destabilized the values and beliefs that organized and
cemented the aristocratic/court hegemony of the late seventeenth
century. Consequently, a multiplicity of discourses jockeyed for
authority to redefine conventional aristocratic notions of
morality, religion, politics, economics, class, gender, taste, art,
and create new cultural identities and new categories of social
status. The essays in this volume examine these discourses as they
manifest themselves in The Spectator.
