Addison first achieved prominence with The Campaign (1704), an epic celebrating the victory of Marlborough at BlenheimÉ His works also include an opera libretto, Rosamund (1707); a prose comedy, The Drummer (1716); and a neoclassical tragedy, Cato (1713), which had an immense success in its own time, but has since been regarded as artificial and sententious.
