Joseph Addison's writings are famous all over the world for his witty remarks, minute observations of the contemporary society and its people, and the shortcomings of the society which he points to with his satirical style of writings. Sir Roger is one of the most significant and most loved character in his satirical writings.
Sir Roger de Coverley was an English squire of Queen Anne's reign, Sir Roger exemplified the values of an old country gentleman, and was portrayed as lovable but somewhat ridiculous ('rather beloved than esteemed' (Spectator no. 2), making his Tory politics seem harmless but silly. He was said to be the grandson of the man who invented the dance.
