Richard Steele

by Richard Steele from c. 1720

About

Richard Steele, better known as the co-creator of The Spectator and The Tatler, also wrote comedies for the early eighteenth-century stage that helped shift Restoration cynicism toward the more sentimental mode of Georgian comedy. The Conscious Lovers (1722) is his most important play — a significant step in the development of sentimental comedy, in which moral virtue generates emotional warmth rather than satirical edge. The play is historically important as a transitional document between the Restoration and the Georgian comic tradition.
