Riassunto

A selection of 13 papers from a July 1999 conference in Dublin, Ireland demonstrates how Anglo-Irish writer Jonathan Swift (1667-1745) and his work are represented at the close of the 20th century. British, North American, and Australian scholars of literature discuss such aspects as A Tale of a Tub, himself, gender and class, and Ireland. Distributed in the US by Associated University Presses.
