Swift and Pope were lifelong friends and fellow satirists with
shared literary sensibilities. But there were significant
differences - demographic, psychological, and literary - between
them: an Anglican and a Roman Catholic, an Irishman and an
Englishman, one deeply committed to politically engaged poetry, and
the other reluctant to engage in partisanship and inclined to
distinguish poetry from politics. In this book, Dustin Griffin
argues that we need to pay more attention to those differences,
which both authors recognised and discussed. Their letters, poems,
and satires can be read as stages in an ongoing conversation or
satiric dialogue: each often wrote for the other, sometimes
addressing him directly, sometimes emulating or imitating. In some
sense, each was constantly replying to the other. From their
lifelong dialogue emerges not only the extraordinary affection and
admiration they felt for each other, but also the occasional
irritation and resentment that kept them both together and apart.
