Steele launched the Guardian in 1713 with Addison contributing and it ran for 175 issues. "Joseph Addison M.P and Sir Richard Steele helped define a new genre, the periodical essay, with their incredibly popular publications The Tatler and The Spectator. (They) defined the periodical essay as the go-to source for entertainment and moral instruction. Their stylistic innovation of imaginary personas, Isaac Bickerstaff and Mr. Spectator, they constructed a new picture of authorship as benevolent, disinterested, but not stodgy." ...M.B.
