Jonathan Swift (1667-1745) was born in Dublin and studied at the
city's Trinity College. He gained his B.A. in 1686 before going to
England where he took a Master's degree at Oxford in 1692.
Subsequently, Swift lived between England and Ireland for a number
of years. He moved from England in 1714 after the Tory party he
supported lost power. Back in Ireland as Dean of St Patrick's
Cathedral in Dublin, he turned his talents to supporting Irish
causes. During this period he wrote some of his best work,
including Gulliver's Travels, the satirical masterpiece which has
been continuously in print since its publication in 1726. Written
by Sir Walter Scott, this is the second part of a two-volume
biography of Swift, first published in 1826. This volume covers the
period from the publication of Gulliver's Travels, and includes a
transcript of his last will and testament.
