Mar 1– “The Spectator Club” by Richard Steele (1711)

Summary: An introduction to the characters of The Spectator

Commentary: I suppose it makes sense to introduce the characters in the first entry. I don't know that it's the most exciting thing to read. At this point, they're more or less stock characters, but maybe they were a bit more original at the time. The Wikipedia article on The Spectator is interesting, and I believe we get more later in the year.
