Title
Advisors of the age of reason: The periodical essays of Steele, Addison, Johnson, and Goldsmith
Publication Date

Abstract
The periodical essay of the eighteenth century invited men of the Age of Reason to pour into it their talent and thought; it was a form in which they could make their points briefly and effectively; it was flexible, and was eventually familiar enough to be well-received. The form itself reflected the common-sense practicality, restraint and moderation that the periodical writers were advocating.
