Jonathan Swift was the most influential political commentator of
his time, in both England and Ireland. His writings are a major
source for historians of the eighteenth century, as well as
including some of the greatest works of satire in verse and prose.
This volume presents wide-ranging new perspectives on Swift's
literary and political achievement in its English and Irish
contexts, bringing together some of the most energetic current
scholarship on the subject in both historical and literary studies.
The essays consider Swift's attitude to Dissenters, his
relationship with Walpole, and his place in, and understanding of,
the political demography of colonial Ireland. They also examine
Swift's poems and pamphlets, and his hoaxes and satires, showing
his extraordinary versatility in a wide variety of genres. Full of
original insights, this volume offers a rich and important new
treatment of Swift's central role in eighteenth-century political
and literary culture.
