Jonathan Swift (1667-1745) is best known as the author of Gulliver`s Travels, which alone would have secured his place in the history of English literature. But in addition to this classic fictional satire, Swift wrote numerous works concerning politics, religion, and Ireland, some savage (such as A Modest Proposal), others humorous, and all suffused with his tremendous wit, inventiveness, and vigour. This anthology includes satirical works such as A Tale of a Tub and The Battle of the Books, political pamphlets, pieces for the popular press, poems, and a generous selection from Swift`s correspondence. Presented chronologically, the anthology offers a new and clearer awareness of the unity as well as the complexity of Swift`s vision, and the powerful bonds between disparate pieces.
