description | Joseph Addison’s travel to France was never turned into a narrative. His Remarks on several parts of Italy only focused on Italy and a part of Switzerland. However, France is a favorite topic for the editor of The Spectator, as the Spanish Succession war thunders to its climax. The war is then transposed onto the papers co-edited with Steele, and England triumphantly emerges out of a Francophobe discourse. The tone changes in 1713 when the Treaty of Utrecht is signed; four travel letters, clearly dating from his French sojourn, are published in The Guardian. Here, by way of contrastive rhetoric, Addison questions the notion of English liberty, inherited form the Glorious Revolution of 1688. |
