1 janv. 1712 - Joseph Addison spectator edition

Description:

- trying to educate readers to criticise - “true beauty has a mole”
- weights good and bad - “A third fault in his sentiments, is an unnecessary ostentation (showiness) of learning, which likewise, occurs very frequently”

- “Milton’s sentiments and ideas were so wonderfully sublime that it would have been impossible for him to have represented them in their full strength and beauty, without having recourse these foreign assistances."
- uses Latinisms etc. because our language is not good enough
- idea of spot or blemish extends across Milton criticism
