Description
Jonathan Swift (1667-1745) was born in Dublin. He is considered the foremost prose satirist in the English language, which stemmed from his criticism of Britain's repressive colonial policies in Ireland. This book discusses Swift's life and turbulent times, his political views and his powers as a writer of complex irony and intricate word play.
