STEELE, SIR RICHARD (1672-1729)

This article appears in Volume V25, Page 865 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: SOU-STE
STEELE, SIR RICHARD (1672-1729) , English man of letters in the reign of Queen Anne, is inseparably associated in the history of literature with his personal friend
Addison
 . He cannot be said to have lost in reputation by the partnership, because he was inferior to
Addison
  in purely literary
gift
 , and it is Addison's literary genius that has floated their
joint
 
work
  above merely journalistic celebrity; but the advantage was not all on Steele's side, inasmuch as his more brilliant coadjutor has usurped not a little of the merit rightly due to him. Steele's often-quoted generous acknowledgment of Addison's services in the Tatter has proved true in a somewhat different sense from that intended by the writer: " I fared like a distressed prince who calls in a powerful
neighbour
  to his aid; I was undone by my
auxiliary
 ; when I had once called him in I could not subsist without dependence on him." The truth is that in this happy alliance the one was the
complement
  of the other; and the
balance
  of mutual advantage was much more nearly even than Steele claimed or posterity has generally allowed.
