Note 11 — SIR ROGER L'ESTRANGE
Reading edition
Several of the literary techniques in the Spectator had been introduced into journalism by L'Estrange. Spectator No. 1, for example, presents a persona in the character of "Mr. Spectator"; No. 2 contains a dream-allegory; Nos. 11 and 34 present indirect discourse between dramatis personae; No. 19 sketches a Character of the Envious Man—all literary modes abundant in the Observator.
