"The Tatler, Volume 3" by Richard Steele is a compilation of essays from the 1700s, supposedly written by Isaac Bickerstaff, that comment on society, politics, and culture with both humor and a sense of morality. These writings touch on everything from social customs to theater reviews and fashion trends, aiming to appeal to readers interested in enlightenment ideas and the quirks of life at the time. This volume begins with a letter showing respect for important people, followed by a funny look at how the opera's popularity suffers when a star is absent, as puppet shows rise in popularity. The essays keep readers interested as they chat about how people act, what society expects, and the strangeness of fashion, drawing everyone into the lively world of early 18th-century England.
