Set in North Africa, the play depicts the final hours of Cato's resistance to Caesar. George Washington found Cato such a powerful statement of liberty, honor, virtue, and patriotism that he had it performed for his men in Valley Forge during the American Revolution. Despite Cato's enormous success, Addison was perhaps best known as an essayist. In peri- odicals like the Spectator, Guardian, Tatler, and Freeholder, he sought to educate England's devel- oping middle class in the habits, morals, and manners he believed necessary for the preserva- tion of a free society. Addison's work in these periodicals helped to define the modern English essay form. Samuel Johnson said of his writing, "Whoever wishes to attain an English style, familiar but not coarse, and elegant but not ostentatious, must give his days and nights to the study of Addison." This volume brings together Addison's dramatic masterpiece along with a selection of his essays that are directly related to the play and that develop its key themes. -- Contents -- Foreword by Forrest McDonald -- Introduction by Christine Dunn Henderson and Mark E.
