About us
The Spectator is a weekly delight for anyone who loves good writing, contentious opinion and hard-hitting comment. With the finest writing on current affairs, politics, the arts, books and life, you'll read regular columnists who delight, provoke and amuse and editorial features of incredible breadth and depth. Established in 1828, The Spectator is the oldest continuously published magazine in the English language. Its taste for controversy, however, remains undiminished. There is no party line to which its writers are bound – originality of thought and elegance of expression are the sole editorial constraints. The result, week after week, is that Britain’s best columnists, critics and cartoonists turn out their finest work for the magazine and give you their views unfiltered and at cask strength.
