Presents generous selections from the Tatler and Spectator, with real context, social and literary, in which to view them. The introductory essays for each of the several sections are extremely helpful, to novices like me, and I appreciate the inclusion of pertinent contemporary and near-contemporary writing at the end of each. Together, they provide an excellent framework for understanding the full significance of the papers - not just enjoying them, which is easy. The emphasis on the role of 'commerce' of all kinds is, naturally, rather heavy. ( )
