Description

Joseph Addison (1 May 1672 - 17 June 1719) was an English essayist, poet, playwright and politician.

He was the eldest son of The Reverend Lancelot Addison.

His name is usually remembered alongside that of his long-standing friend Richard Steele, with whom he founded The Spectator magazine.

His simple prose style marked the end of the mannerisms and conventional classical images of the 17th century.

In 1708 and 1709, Addison was a Member of Parliament for the borough of Lostwithiel.

He was soon appointed secretary to the new Lord Lieutenant of Ireland, Lord Wharton.

Under the direction of Wharton, he was an MP in the Irish House of Commons for Cavan Borough from 1709 until 1713
