Presenting a fresh perspective on one of the most celebrated print
canons in literary history, Valerie Rumbold explores the expressive
force of print context, format, typography, ornament and paratext
encountered by early readers of Jonathan Swift. By focusing on the
books, pamphlets and single sheets in which the Dublin and London
book trades published his work, this revealing whole-career
analysis, based on a chronology of publication that often lagged
years behind dates of composition, examines first editions and
significant reprints throughout Swift's lifetime, and posthumous
first editions and collections in the twenty years after his death.
Drawing on this material evidence, Rumbold reframes Swift's
publishing career as a late expression of an early modern formation
in which publishing was primarily an adjunct to public service. In
an age of digital reading, this timely study invites a new
engagement with the printed texts of Swift.
