The Spectator of 1711 was directly quoted in "The Rape of the Lock" opera. The whole scene on Snuff and the Fan was created directly from it, and those who are interested in The Spectator will be amused and pleased to see it lodged in a modern work for modern audiences. This is completely relevant to readers of The Spectator as an external link. Please reinstate that link, as it is a scholarly reference, and the pertinent readers will enjoy it.
