Walking Naboth's Vineyard brings together nine prominent scholars
to present new and valuable perspectives on the work of Jonathan
Swift. In recent years Swift has been increasingly reconsidered and
recast as a distinctly Irish writer, and there is little doubt that
his artistic career was shaped by Ireland's troubled political
life. Literary critics and scholars, as well as scholars of Irish
literature, will find this collection unique in that it explores
Swift's life and writing in a distinctively Irish context and
considers how Swift was influenced as a member of a population that
was divided against itself, colonized by a neighboring kingdom, and
politically and culturally marginalized. These essays demonstrate
how, despite Swift's ambivalence about his Irish nationality, he
found Ireland's worldly position a close parallel to his own
complex position in the political and cultural worlds in which he
lived.
