The Spectator was a daily publication founded by Joseph Addison and Richard Steele in England, lasting from 1711 to 1712. Each "paper", or "number", was approximately 2,500 words long, and the original run consisted of 555 numbers, beginning on 1 March 1711. These were collected into seven volumes. The paper was revived without the involvement of Steele in 1714, appearing thrice weekly for six months, and these papers when collected formed the eighth volume. Eustace Budgell, a cousin of Addison's, and the poet John Hughes also contributed to the publication. Sir Roger de Coverley was the name of a character in The Spectator (1711), created by Joseph Addison and Richard Steele. An English squire of Queen Anne's reign. Sir Roger exemplified the values of an old country gentleman, and was portrayed as lovable but somewhat ridiculous ('rather beloved than esteemed') (Spectator no. 2), making his Tory politics seem harmless but silly. He was said to be the grandson of the man who invented the dance. Ref E 2.

The Spectator war eine täglich erscheinende Londoner Zeitung, 1711?12 gegründet von Joseph Addison und Richard Steele, die sich auf der Charterhouse School kennengelernt hatten. Eustace Budgell, ein Cousin von Addison, trug auch dazu bei. Die Erstausgabe erschien am 1. März 1711. Jede Nummer war etwa 2500 Wörter lang, die Originalserie bestand aus 555 Nummern. Sie wurden in sieben Bänden gesammelt. Die Zeitung wurde ohne Steele 1714 wiederbelebt und erschien sechs Monate lang dreimal die Woche. Diese neue Serie umfasste acht Bände. Trotz einer bescheidenen Auflage von etwa 3.000 Exemplaren wurde der Spectator viel gelesen; Addison schätzte die Leserschaft auf 60.000, etwa ein Zehntel der Bevölkerung Londons. Zeitgenössische Historiker und Literaturwissenschaftler halten diese Zahl nicht für übertrieben; die meisten Leser waren nicht selbst Abonnenten, sondern Besucher eines Kaffeehauses, wo die Zeitung auslag. Die Leser kamen aus allen Ständen, doch richtete sich die Zeitung vor allem an Englands aufstrebenden Mittelstand, große und kleine Kaufleute und Händler. Jürgen Habermas sieht den Spectator als wichtiges Mittel der "strukturellen Transformation der öffentlichen Sphäre", die sich im England des 18. Jahrhunderts vollzog. Diese Transformation, so argumentiert er, sei aus dem Bürgertum heraus entstanden, das sich eben gerade durch Publikationen wie den Spectator als Gruppe formierte. Offiziell war der Spectator politisch neutral, doch vertrat er eindeutig Werte und Interessen der Whigs. Die Politik der Tories wurde in der Figur Sir Roger de Coverleys, eines liebenswerten, aber etwas lächerlichen Landedelmannes, karikiert. Der Spectator blieb im späten 18. und 19. Jahrhundert eine beliebte Lektüre. Er wurde in achtbändigen Ausgaben verkauft. Sein Prosastil und die Kombination aus Moral, Lebensberatung und Unterhaltung galten als vorbildlich. Es gab weitere Zeitungsprojekte oder Diskussionszirkel, der Aufklärung verpflichtet, in Spanien und Italien, deren Anhänger üblicherweise ebenfalls mit dem englischen Wort "Spectators" bezeichnet werden.
