Sinossi
Excerpt from The Choice Works of Dean Swift: In Prose and Verse; Carefully Reprinted From the Original Editions
After all, however, the best commentary on Swift's life are his own letters and journals and occasional poems - and indeed, more or less, the whole body of his writings. Whoever can read these honestly and in their integrity, and can doubt the tenderness, the piety, the sinc'erity.

Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book explores the life and career of Jonathan Swift, an Irish writer, satirist, political pamphleteer, and Anglican clergyman. Swift is widely regarded as perhaps the greatest prose satirist in the English language, with a career that spanned decades and witnessed some of Britain's most momentous historical events. The book follows Swift from his birth in 1667 to his death in 1745, exploring his early life, his friendships with influential figures of the time, such as Sir William Temple and Alexander Pope, and his complex relationships with women, in particular Esther Johnson ("Stella") and Esther Vanhomrigh ("Vanessa"). It examines his writings, including "A Tale of a Tub" and "Gulliver's Travels," which established him as a master of satire and a pioneer of science fiction, and analyzes their enduring legacy and influence on literature. The book also delves into the controversies surrounding Swift's political and religious views, his complex personality and mental health struggles, and his enduring legacy as one of the most significant figures in English literature. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
