"Cadenus" & "Swift's Most Valuable Friend", Hardback Book

"Cadenus" & "Swift's Most Valuable Friend" Hardback

Illustrated by Louis Le Brocquy

Hardback

Description

These books are being reissued as they appeared in the first Dolmen Press editions in one composite volume, with a valuable, contexual introduction by 18th-century Swift scholar Andrew Carpenter.

He assesses the reaction of Swift's serious biographers and commentators to the original publication. "Cadenus" is primarily concerned with the relationship between Swift and Vanessa (Esther Van Homrigh), "Swift's Most Valuable Friend" with that between Swift and Stella (Esther Johnson).

Both help to determine the precise nature of this triangle, and the impact it had on his writing and career.
