Hints:

Defoe

Tattler

 

Moving away from newspapers, let's now focus on magazines. Now the first magazine was a little periodical called the Review, and it was started in London in 1704. It looked a lot like the newspapers of the time. But in terms of its content, it was much different. Newspapers were concerned mainly with news events, but the Review focused on important domestic issues of the day, as well as the policies of the government. Now in England at the time, people could still be thrown in jail for publishing articles that were critical of the king. And that's what happened to Denial Defoe. He was the outspoken founder of the Review. Defoe actually wrote the first issue of the Review from prison. You see, he had been arrested because of his writings that criticized the policies of the Church of England, which was headed by the king. After his release, Defoe continued to produce the Review and the magazine started to appear on a more frequent schedule, about three times a week, it didn't take long for other magazines to start popping up. In 1709 a magazine called the Tattler began publication. This new magazine contained a mixture of news, poetry, political analysis, and philosophical essays.
离开报纸，让我们来注意杂志。第一本杂志是1704年在伦敦发行的一个期刊叫《回顾》。它看上去和它同时代的报纸很相似，但内容上是很不同的。报纸主要关注新闻事件，但《回顾》却注重重要的国内事件，还有政府决策。当时的英格兰人还可能因为在杂志上发表对国王的意见而被判入狱。Denial Defoe就是其中之一。他是一个性格外向的《回顾》创刊人。其实《回顾》的第一期就是Defoe在狱中写出来的。你知道，他曾因写过一篇批评英格兰教堂政策的文章而被捕。释放以后，他继续出版《回顾》，而且出版的次数更多了，大概每周3期。没有多长时间，其它杂志也像雨后春笋般地出现了。在1709年一本叫《聊家》的杂志开始出版。这本新杂志包含了新闻，诗歌，政治评论和哲学论文等多方面的内容。
