About The Spectator

The Spectator was established in 1828, and is the oldest continuously published magazine in the English language.

The Spectator's taste for controversy, however, remains undiminished. There is no party line to which our writers are bound - originality of thought and elegance of expression are the sole editorial constraints. The result, week-after-week, is that the finest British journalists, critics, authors and cartoonists turn out their best work for the magazine, to produce an extraordinarily wide-ranging title.
