This volume contains the three works which together make up
Jonathan Swift's early satiric and intellectual masterpiece, A Tale
of a Tub: the Tale itself, The Battel of the Books, and The
Mechanical Operation of the Spirit. Incorporating much new
knowledge, this 2010 edition provides the first full scholarly
treatment of this important work for fifty years. The introduction
discusses publication, composition, and authorship; sources,
analogues and generic models; reception; and religious, scientific
and literary contexts (including the ancients and moderns
controversy). Detailed explanatory notes address many previously
unexplained issues in this famously rich and difficult work. Texts
have been fully collated and edited according to modern principles
and are accompanied with a textual introduction and full textual
apparatus. Illustrations include title pages, the eight engravings
from the fifth edition, and original designs for these engravings.
Extensive associated contemporary materials, including Edmund
Curll's Key and William Wotton's Observations, are provided.
