Jonathan Swift's influence on the writings and politics of England
and Ireland was reinforced by a combination of contradictory
forces: an authoritarian attachment to tradition and rule, and a
vivid responsiveness to the disorders of a modernity he resisted
and yet helped to create. He was, perhaps even more than Pope, a
dominant voice of his times. The rich variety of the literary
culture to which he belonged shows the penetration of his ideas,
personality and style. This is true of writers who were his friends
and admirers (Pope), of adversaries (Mandeville, Johnson), of
several who became great ironists in his shadow (Gibbon, Austen),
and of some surprising examples of Swiftian afterlife (Chatterton).
Claude Rawson, leading scholar of the works of Swift, brings
together recent essays, as well as classic earlier work extensively
revised, to offer fresh insights into an era when Swift's voice was
a pervasive presence.
