Published between 1728 and 1733. The original Tatler was founded in 1709 by Richard Steele, who used the nom de plume "Isaac Bickerstaff, Esquire", the first such consistently adopted journalistic pseudonym. Steele's idea was to publish the news and gossip heard in London coffee-houses using 'The Tatler' as a satirical medium through which to present such information. Regular contributers to 'The Tatler' were Jonathan Swift and Joseph Addison.
