The early eighteenth century witnessed the birth in England of the
"Spectators", a journalistic and literary genre that developed in the wake
of the Glorious Revolution (1688). Beginning in 1709 these newspapers
and their fictitious narrators would influence the entire European
continent. In the Anglophone world the "Spectators" were also called
"periodical essays", whereas in German-speaking lands they were known
as "Moralische Wochenschriften" or, in a re-translation into English, as
"Moral Weeklies". These periodicals constituted a new public medium,
aimed especially at a bourgeois audience and responsible for a brisk
discursive transfer. They thus not only added further dimensions to
public communication, but they also contributed decisively to the
development of modern narrative forms.
