Poets are makers, etymologically speaking. In practice, they are
also thieves. Over a long career, from the early 1690s to the late
1730s, Jonathan Swift thrived on a creative tension between
original poetry-making and the filching of familiar material from
the poetic archive. The most extensive study of Swift's verse to
appear in more than thirty years, Reading Swift's Poetry offers
detailed readings of dozens of major poems, as well as neglected
and recently recovered pieces. This book reaffirms Swift's
prominence in competing literary traditions as diverse as the
pastoral and the political, the metaphysical and the satirical, and
demonstrates the persistence of unlikely literary tropes across his
multifaceted career. Daniel Cook also considers the audacious ways
in which Swift engages with Juvenal's satires, Horace's epistles,
Milton's epics, Cowley's odes, and an astonishing array of other
canonical and forgotten writers.
