As the greatest satirist in the English language, Jonathan Swift
was both admired and feared in his own time for the power of his
writing, and hugely influential on writers who followed him. Swift
transformed models such as utopian writing, political
pamphleteering, and social critique with his dark and
uncompromising vision of the human condition, deepening the outlook
of contemporaries such as Alexander Pope, and leaving a legacy of
Swiftian satire in the work of Hogarth, Fielding, Austen and
Beckett, among others. This collection of essays, with its
distinguished list of international contributors, centres on Swift,
the genres and authors who influenced him, and his impact on satire
and satirists from his own time to the twentieth century.
