Description

Jonathan Swift (30 November 1667 - 19 October 1745) was an Anglo-Irish satirist, essayist, political pamphleteer (first for the Whigs, then for the Tories), poet and Anglican cleric who became Dean of St Patrick's Cathedral, Dublin, hence his common sobriquet, "Dean Swift".

Swift is remembered for works such as A Tale of a Tub (1704), An Argument Against Abolishing Christianity (1712), Gulliver's Travels (1726), and A Modest Proposal (1729).

He is regarded by the Encyclopaedia Britannica as the foremost prose satirist in the English language, and is less well known for his poetry.

He originally published all of his works under pseudonyms - such as Lemuel Gulliver, Isaac Bickerstaff, M.

B. Drapier - or anonymously. He was a master of two styles of satire, the Horatian and Juvenalian styles.
