A kindly, eccentric and somewhat old-fashioned country gentleman, Sir Roger appears in a series of essays depicting his home, friends, servants and attitudes toward the changing world around him. Through his character, Addison and Steele offer a humorous but affectionate portrait of early eighteenth-century English country life. The essays combine gentle satire with observations on manners, politics, religion and society, making Sir Roger one of the enduring figures of English periodical literature.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Folio Vault","offers":[{"title":"Very Good","offer_id":55216390275411,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"Good","offer_id":55421107306835,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/thefoliovault.com\/products\/sir-roger-de-coverly-folio-society-263","provider":"Folio Vault","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
