About the author
Ăż
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 cleric who became Dean of St Patrick's Cathedral, Dublin.
Swift is remembered for works such as Gulliver's Travels, A Modest Proposal, A Journal to Stella, Drapier's Letters, The Battle of the Books, An Argument Against Abolishing Christianity and A Tale of a Tub. He is regarded by the EncyclopÂdia Britannica as the foremost prose satirist in the English language,[1] and is less well known for his poetry. He originally published all of his works under pseudonyms ? such as Lemuel Gulliver, Isaac Bickerstaff, Drapier's Letters as MB Drapier ? or anonymously. He is also known for being a master of two styles of satire, the Horatian and Juvenalian styles.
