“Contexts” features a generous selection of contemporary
materials, among them Swift's letters, autobiographical documents,
and personal writings. “Criticism” provides readers with a wide
chronological and thematic range of scholarly interpretations,
divided into two sections. The first, “1745–1940,” includes
assessments by Henry Fielding, Samuel Johnson, Samuel Taylor
Coleridge, William Makepeace Thackeray, D. H. Lawrence, W. B.
Yeats, F. R. Leavis, and André Breton, among others. The second,
“After 1940,” is by subject and collects critical discussions
of A Tale of the Tub, the poems, the English and Irish politics,
and Gulliver’s Travels, by Hugh Kenner, Marcus Walsh, Irvin
Ehrenpreis, Penelope Wilson, Derek Mahon, S. J. Connolly, George
Orwell, R. S. Crane, Jenny Mezciems, Ian Higgins, and Claude
Rawson. A Chronology and Selected Bibliography are also included.
